Seal-A-Smile Offerings by School
Our district values the continued collaboration with community agencies to provide Wisconsin Seal-A-Smile services to students in as many buildings as are eligible. Each of the programs who provided services to district students in the past are returning for the 2023-2024 school year. Details of their programs are shared through usual school communication measures.
This year's participating schools within our district are:
Endeavor Elementary, any enrolled student in grades 2, 3, 4 and 5. (And for the dental cleaning program aged 5 years through 5th grade. See below.)
Woodridge Primary, any enrolled student in grade 1.

John Muir Elementary, any enrolled student in grades 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
