The mobile dentist is coming to Harrisville Elementary School on September 9 for the 6-month visit! Permission forms have been sent home with students. Please return these ASAP if you would like your student to be seen by the dentist at this visit. You may also sign up online at www.MySchoolDentist.com to make it easier! Additionally, if your child is in 2nd grade this year or is a newly enrolled student in any grade or grades Pre-K or kindergarten and needs a dental exam for school entry, this would be a great time for he/she to be seen while at school! Dental disease results in 51 million lost school hours every year! Help students get the dental care they deserve to keep them healthy and in the classroom.
