Sight Words
Sight words, also called High Frequency Words, are words that students will encounter often in reading and writing. Memorizing these words will be crucial for fluent reading and proficient writing as they grow in Literacy. It is very important that these words are read with automaticity, not sounded out. Students should be able to read/recognize these words within 2 seconds and write them from memory.

Annually, our School Health Dental Hygienist looks for healthy smiles by providing kindergarten dental screenings. Please refer to the WCPSS student/parent handbook. Good dental health is important to a student’s overall well-being and affects a child’s success and performance in the classroom.
School Dental Hygienists use a flashlight to provide a quick visual screening of the student’s teeth, unlike a dental exam by a dentist.
During dental screening, the School Dental Hygienist follows all CDC guidelines.
A letter with the screening results will be sent in student’s school folder ONLY if your child has
questionable or obvious dental needs. If needed, children with obvious dental needs may receive
an additional follow-up screening by the School Health Dental Hygienist later in the school year.
If you have any questions, please contact the school’s dental hygienist, Mary Lou Torbert, RDH, at
919-621-2482 or mtorbert@wcpss.net

Cada año, nuestro higienista dental escolar busca sonrisas saludables haciendo exámenes dentales en las clases de kínder. Por favor, consulte el manual del estudiante/padre de WCPSS. La buena salud dental es importante para el bienestar general de un estudiante y afecta el éxito y el desempeño escolar de los/las niños(as).
Los higienistas usan una linterna para hacer un rápido examen visual de los dientes del estudiante. Es distinto a lo que hace un dentista.
Durante la evaluación, el higienista dental sigue todas las pautas de los Centros de Control de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés).
Se enviará una carta con los resultados del examen en la carpeta escolar del estudiante SOLAMENTE si su hijo(a) tiene necesidades dentales obvias o cuestionables. Si es necesario, más adelante en el año, el higienista dental escolar puede realizarles un examen de seguimiento adicional a los/las niños(as) con necesidades dentales evidentes.
Si tiene preguntas, por favor contacte a Angelita Rodriguez 919.250.1199 o angelita.rodriguez@wake.gov.
