Seal-A-Smile Dental Program
The Northwoods Dental Project will 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. You can also find the form here: https://sealasmile.wisconsin.gov/Consent.

Counseling Corner
During the month of November, our classes will focus on career-related lessons. We won't be trying to get kindergarteners (or even 8th graders) to nail down their future professions, but rather have goals such as helping students to start making connections between skills learned in the classroom and real-world jobs, and expanding students’ knowledge of the various careers. We will also be working to help students see the connection between interests, skills, and abilities and career choice.
Middle school students will have the chance to use an internet-based program called Career Cruising, which will allow students to explore career and college options later used to develop a career plan. Career Cruising can be accessed from home, school, or wherever your son or daughter has access to the internet. Features of the program include assessment, career profiles, multimedia interviews, college & financial aid info, an employment guide, and resume builder.
