How to Provide Fluoride to Kids By investing less than beneficial levels, fluoride one cent per child per day, may be prescribed so that parents can save about the maximum dental $500 in dental bills during the first 20 years of a childs life. Georgia Lauritzen, Utah State University Extension nutrition specialist, and Dr. Arthur Mahoney, professor of nutrition and food sciences, said that by using a prescribed fluoride supplement, parents can achieve a 40 to 75 percent reduction in cavities. The fluoride may be prescribed either alone or in combination with vitamins. Liquid fluoride is available for infants. The USU researchers noted that fluoride supplements must be taken consistently and over long periods of time if substantial benefits are to be experienced. Information from a survey by the Center for Disease Control shows that in the United States, about half of the population has access to water supplies with fluoride content high enough to help prevent cavities, they said. Some areas have adjusted the amount of fluoride in the water. Other cities have adequate natural fluoride content, the USU professors explained. , Unfortunately, only 2.4 percent of the population in Utah is receiving adequate fluoride, they said. In areas where fluoride in the water supply is not adequate to meet the South Sanpete School District benefits are achieved without a risk of overdosage. Large amounts of fluoride may cause mottling or discoloration of the teeth, the researchers explained. There are also several other ways of providing fluoride, Lauritzen and Mahoney noted. Fluoride applied to the teeth by a dentist has proven effective in reducing cavities. Mouth rinses containing fluoride are also available and many toothpastes now contain fluoride. Fluoride is available in small amounts in all foods and liquids consumed by humans because it is a natural element found in the soil. The USU researchers cautioned, however, that for fluoride supplementation to be effective it should be provided daily and should start in the very early life of a child. They suggest checking with local health officials to find out about fluoride levels in the local area. Smithsonian to Feature Latin American Arts Institution phoA Smithsonian tographic exhibit entitled The Arts of Latin America opens at the Lucy A. Phillips Library on the Snow College campus April 6 and continues through May 5. The appearance of the exhibit is by the Sanpete County pine Arts Council and the college.

He said that our antelope herds are increasing around the state, but there are some slow areas due to recent dry springs. Moose and desert bighorn pop- ulations are both steady. Jense said that 516 bighorns were spotted this past December in our nucleus herd along the Green and Colorado rivers. The buffalo herd in the southern part of the state looks good, although illegal kills sometime population make assessment of the difficult, Jense said.

Grades earned in any course offered in district schools shall reflect student daily participation as well as the fulfillment of other academic requirements as may be established by the teacher (tests and other assignments). Participation is defined as being present andbeing involved either directly andor indirectly with the planned activities of the learning experience(s) provided by the teacher. must be done in advance or during the absence. Truancy (stuffing) will not be tolerated. Truancy is defined as a student not being in school when hisher parents or legal guardian think they are. Truant students will be dealt with in one or a combination of the following methods: (1 ) conferencing with the student, (2) suspension and conferencing with student and parent, (3) suspension and referral to juvenile court, andor (4) suspension and referral to Board of Education for expulsion. Each day of suspension will result in a loss of a participation point as will the truancy. 5. The Board of Education believes that the public expects each classroom experience and every class period to be a significant learning experience. 6. Absences from school fall into two general categories (a) involuntary and (b) voluntary: a. Involuntary absences are those which relate to illness; medical or dental appointments which can only be scheduled during time when school is in session; court appearances; death of a family member; or religious observances. b. Voluntary absences are those which the student andor the parent or legal guardian have the option of whether or not the student will attend and decide not to attend. STUDENT ABSENCES AND EXCUSES All grades in the South Sanpete School District shall be based on a hundred point score system as follows: The mark I may be used in special circumstances where work relating to a particular marking period is pending completion subject to an arrangement between the student and the teacher. Utah Code Section S3 Chapter 24 dealing with Compulsory Attendance states that Every parent, guardian or other person having control of any minor between six and eighteen years of age shall be required to send such minor to a public or regularly established private school during the regularly established school year of the district in which he resides. In developing and operating an attendance program that will comply with the intent and spirit of this law the South Sanpete Board of Education states the following basic principles: . Regular attendance is a reasonable and necessary requirement for all students. Absences have an adverse effect on the educational process and is the leading cause of failure at school. 2. The full learning experience provided by the school district cannot be obtained if the carefully planned, sequential classrdom learning experience is interrupted. Students who are absent from class for any reason are deprived of a variety of educational opportunities, meaninteraction, and learning experiences shared ingful student-teache- r with their peers. 1 shall be the mark used for passing policy permits its use (work release). P in those courses where district Every grade shall be based on two components in the following proportion: 43 Participation Academic Requirements 57 Whether the academic requirement points are earned by testing, assignments, demonstrations, or other activities, the weighting of each shall be left to each teacher. 3. Participation points are earned at the rate of one point per class attended, a home bound visit or by the parent contacting the school during the period of absence if the reason for the absence is a result of (1) illness, (2) medical or dental appointment which can not be scheduled outside the school hours, (3) court appearances, (4) death of a family member or (5) religious observances. No student can earn more than 43 points for participation or 57 points in the academic requirement components per term. 4. Upon the request of the student the teacher must inform the student of assignments, tests or other activities that relate to the academic requirements which were missed. Teachers will keep an accurate daily attendance record. Principal will set up a system for teachers to report absences to the office. Parents are encouraged to call the school when their students are absent for any of the above reasons to insure that participation points are not lost. This 7. 8. activities as examinations, review of work covered, introduction of new material, special enrichment experiences, etc. around these . days. Absences can cause a psychological barrier to the childs full progress upon his return to school because of a feeling of uncertainty that develops because of the student not knowing what he may or may not have missed and hisher awareness that the teacher and the have carried on discussions and have shared experiences to which heshe has not been a part. These interruptions in attendance cause a lapse in time before the pupil again feels an integral part of the group and begins to fully benefit from what is going on in the classroom. The Board of Education accepts a role in teaching dependability and attempts to promote and develop in students this trait through en- couraging regular and punctual attendance. While teachers have traditionally attempted to make up work for classes missed, there is no way to reproduce or recapture missed classroom activities. Homework assignments, pages to read and the like supplement, but do not replace missed classroom participation. These activities are used to partially compensate for missed experiences, but in reality missed school experiences cannot be made up and these types of activities are not a good substitute for the uninterrupted personal contact between teacher and pupil in learning experiences which are carefully planned and executed. The right to attend school is a civil right, fully recognized by the courts and the South Sanpete School District. It is not an absolute right, but is a right which an individual possesses until the exercise of this right becomes damaging to the rights of others. The right of one person to attend school must not place in serious jeopardy the opportunity of others to profit from school. Since absent students upon their return to class place additional demands on a teachers time and cause a break in classroom continuity thereby jeopardizing the educational opportunity of others, teachers and administrators have first responsibility to provide for those students who have had continuous attendance or whose absence has been involuntary. School days immediately preceding and following vacation periods are particularly important because teachers plan such classroom The promotion of regular attendance is a responsibility of the home which school programs are aimed at supporting. When the school communicates with the home about absenteeism the school's purposes are to (1) notify parents that their student is not in school, and (2) to ask if the parents desire home bound services. The Board believes that the home has the responsibility and obligation to notify the school when the student will be absent whether the absence is voluntary or involuntary. 11. Voluntary absence is a symptom of possible individual problems which may be associated with a variety of complex and deeply rooted social, educational, emotional, physical, cultural andor economic factors which need to be identified and alleviated. Based on the above eleven principles the South Sanpete Board of Edurttion directs its Superintendent to develop administrative procedures and ednfffrn programs that are consistent with die above; that will help each student progress toward the general educational goals of the Board and die goals of the students individual educational plan; and promote a high rate attendance in the schools of the district. |
