General Info

Charles Mack Elementary School front entrance and office building
 
School History
Three generations of the family of Charles Mack occupied the land upon which the school is located. Forty varieties of olives, many imported from Italy, were planted on the Mack Ranch. Some of these are still bearing fruit in the back yards of residents. For years the housing development across from the school was known as the Olive Orchard.

Dental Screening and Oral Health Information
California law requires proof of a dental screening by May 31 of a student’s first year of public school, whether it is kindergarten or first grade.
Primary teeth, also known as milk or baby teeth, play a vital role in children for eating, speaking, and smiling. They also hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth which are growing under the gums. Problems with primary teeth often cause pain and swelling which can cause distress to the child and lead to the inability to chew or speak properly.
Oral health is a valuable asset to a child’s overall health and to learning. Oral health includes not only the teeth and gums, but also the hard and soft palate, the mucosal lining of the mouth and throat, the tongue, the lips, the salivary glands, the chewing muscles and the jaw. By children receiving an early thorough oral examination, it can detect the early signs of nutritional deficiencies as well as a number of systemic diseases.
The screening must be done by a licensed dentist or other licensed or registered dental health professional within 12 months of enrollment. If a dental check-up cannot be obtained, parents may be excused from this requirement by filling out a form stating that the oral health assessment could not be completed because of one or more of the following reasons:
 
  • Completion of an assessment poses an undue financial burden on the parent or legal guardian.
  • Lack of access by the parent or legal guardian to a licensed dentist or other licensed or registered dental health professional.
  • The parent or legal guardian does not consent to an assessment.
 
The law, California Education Code Section 49452.8, went into effect in 2007. The goal of the law is to establish dental care for every child. The screenings will identify children who need further examination and dental treatment. EGUSD adheres to the same privacy requirements per the California Department of Education.

Physical Exam (First Grade Only)
State law requires that for each child enrolling in the first grade, the parent or guardian must present a certificate, signed by a physician, verifying that the child has received a physical examination within the last 18 months. If your child does not receive this exam, you must file a waiver with the school district stating the reasons you are unable to obtain such services. You must understand that your child may be sent home if you fail to provide the certificate or waiver, or if your child is suspected to be suffering from a contagious disease. You may find it convenient to have your child immunized at the same time that the physical examination is conducted. [E.C. 49450; Health and Safety Code 124085, 124100, 124105]
