Messages from our School Nurse
Sister Lakes Elementary School is excited to announce that the Van Buren Cass District Health Department will be offering a great opportunity for our students again this year.
On Tuesday, February 18th, 2025, the health department dental hygienist will be at Sister Lakes offering a program to help stop tooth decay. The SEAL Michigan Dental Sealant Program will be coming to place dental sealants on permanent six-year and twelve-year molars at NO COST!!! If your child has dental insurance it will be billed and any amount not covered by your insurance will be covered by this program. Please check with your dental insurance as many plans do not cover the cost of dental sealants. If your child does not have dental insurance there will be NO cost.
Your child will receive informational paperwork along with the necessary paperwork to be completed. If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity please complete the necessary form and send it back to the school as soon as possible and we will take care of everything from there.

Reminders
Cold weather: Please make sure your student has appropriate outdoor gear to wear during recess. Hats, gloves, snow pants, boots and a warm coat. Students go outside for lunch recess everyday unless the temperature is 10 degrees or below.
School Closing Information: If school will be closed or delayed due to inclement weather or any other reason, the district will begin to notify families starting at 5:30 am via automated phone calls. Please make sure that your contact information is up to date with the office.
ATTENDANCE: It is very important that students are in school everyday, but the school realizes that there are some reasons for excused absences. Make sure to call the school and let us know when your student is going to be absent or the school will be calling you. When a student returns to school after any period of absence, please send a note stating the reason for the absences.
*If your student(s) is running late, please bring them to the office and sign them in.
