Nurse's Notes
I sent out notices earlier in the year to those who are still behind on their immunizations. We still have quite a few students who are not up to date on those immunizations. The state of Wisconsin mandates that student attending public school must meet a minimum number of immunizations at each grade level/age. A student who is not compliant can face possible exclusion from school or a fine of up to $25.00. To remain compliant please have your child immunized and provide the school with a record of the immunizations given. If you have any questions please call the school nurse.

Healthy Smiles and Seal-A-Smile Dental Programs
Parents of 4K and Kindergartens students have the opportunity to sign their child up for a program offered by the Northwoods Dental Project – 'Healthy Smiles' program. This program offers FREE dental exams and fluoride varnish applications to students in 4K and Kindergarten. Each child will receive a dental exam, fluoride varnish application, dental supplies, oral education and a letter to parents describing the services provided and any recommendations. Fluoride varnish is a gel that is painted onto the teeth, making them stronger. The student will each have a minimum of 3 applications at least 6 weeks apart. The first application will be November 1. The students will be coming home with permission slip so please look for it and return it by October 27 if you would like your child to participate.

The Northwoods Dental Project will also be providing oral health exams, dental sealants and fluoride varnish to all 2nd and 6th graders at no cost. Dental sealants are a thin plastic like coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. With proper dental care, sealants are nearly 100% effective in preventing cavities. Northwoods Dental Project will be at MHLT on November 16-17 to provide these services. Click the link below and fill it out to have your child participate.
