Neighborhood Healthcare Mobile Dental Clinic
Give your child’s smile some extra care! Neighborhood Healthcare’s Mobile Dental Clinic is coming to our school to make dental care more convenient for our families. Students can receive preventive dental services right at school, helping families avoid missed work or school for a dental appointment. Services may include a dental exam, cleaning, fluoride treatment, X-rays, sealants, and oral health education. We encourage families to take advantage of this convenient opportunity! If you are interested in having your child participate, please complete and return the Neighborhood Healthcare Mobile Dental Clinic consent form to the front office. Your completed form will allow your child to be considered for services when the mobile clinic visits our school.
EXPLORE Classes
our Fall EXPLORE classes begin this week. Please note that not all EXPLORE classes begin on Monday, September 14. Each class has its own start date, so please refer to your student’s confirmation letter that was sent home last week for the specific date their class begins. We can’t wait to see all the amazing classes happening after school! We hope everyone has a great time exploring something new!
