Attention Kindergarten, 2nd, and 6th Grade Families!
Parents of Kindergarten, 2nd, and 6th Grade students: Please note that by May 15th, 2024 you must show proof that your child has seen the dentist within the past 18 months and submit their dental exam report to school. This is a requirement for all children in the State of Illinois. If the SMILE Illinois dentist examined your child, you have fulfilled this obligation.
Feel free to contact the Nerge School Nurse for any questions or concerns.
