Dear friends and families of Yujin Gakuen:
This is our last week in October, and many of our students (and staff) are excited that the holiday season is fast approaching. The weather has shifted, and it’s really starting to feel like fall. Students (and staff) are looking forward to being together tomorrow and celebrating the change in seasons.
Whatever you do to celebrate fall, I hope you get to enjoy this time with loved ones. Wishing you all a spooky, yet safe weekend. 🎃
Yours sincerely,
Kocho Sensei
Please see below for announcements.

A Message from Nurse Robin Sensei:Health Screening- December 10th, 2021
Our dental screening this year also will be Friday, December 10th during the school day, for grades K-5. This is an oral health screening, a quick look, and DOES NOT take the place of a complete examination by a dentist. Serious oral health problems may be missed in a brief visual screening. The screening is performed by the Community Health Centers of Lane County, Dental Prevention. Additionally, if an authorization for Dental Hygiene Services was returned, the Dental Prevention Program may offer a fluoride varnish treatment during the screening. There is a possibility that dental insurance would be billed, as mentioned on their consent form. |
