Telehealth, Vision, and Dental Services
Mobile Telehealth Services are available for students and staff through a partnership with Pickens Urgent Care and Primary Care. To enroll in the program, parents must complete two consent forms. To access the consent forms, go to Pickenscare.com and click on the green Diamond P, Student Registration, or you can complete the consent form and turn it in to your child's school.
Free Vision Care is available, thanks to a partnership with Prevent Blindness of Georgia. Through this program, any child who does not pass a vision screening qualifies to receive a FREE comprehensive eye exam and two FREE pairs of glasses, if prescribed. The eye exams are free of charge regardless of the family's income. If you would like your child to receive this service, please contact your child's school nurse.
In-school, full-service dental care is provided by the Help a Child Smile Mobile Dental Program. Childhood cavities are more common than asthma. Infection from tooth decay can lead to other health problems.
Help a Child Smile will visit your child's school in the fall and spring of the school year, plus additional follow-up visits as needed. Dental care at school includes a complete exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride, sealants, and cavity treatment when needed. If your child does not have a regular dentist you can sign them up at www.myschooldentist.com, call 770-760-7900, or complete the appropriate dental consent form on the Documents & Forms webpage and turn it in to your child's school. If your child already has a dentist, you should keep going to that dentist.
