Smiles Mobile Dentist
Smiles Mobile Dentist
The Smiles Mobile Dentist program is an optional school-based dental service that brings professional dental care directly to students in schools. It offers preventative services such as cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants, along with basic restorative care like fillings. When students have larger/multiple fillings, they will be referred out. The goal is to ensure that students receive dental care regardless of financial or transportation barriers. We schedule dates with them every 6 months, so students who take advantage of the mobile dentist this fall will be revisited in the spring.
WHEN: October 1, 2026
COST: Free to Medicaid & MIChild, all others will have their insurance billed
SIGN UP TODAY by filling out the permission slip that came home with your student or you can register electronically here: https://www.myschooldentist.com/GMGPMI_schsrm

Attendance Policy & Dismissal Changes
Attendance Policy & Dismissal Changes
Absences and appointments can be called in at any time to 616-254-6881, e-mailed to oakesattendance@gpsbulldogs.org or send us a message through Talking Points. Please leave your name, your student's name, your student's grade, your student's teacher, the date, and the reason for their absence. If no reason is given, the absence will be entered as unexcused.
If you are making a change to your student's normal dismissal schedule, please inform your child's teacher and the office before 1pm. We will make every effort to inform your student of the change but cannot accommodate last minute changes as our bus riders are dismissed before our pick up/walking students.
All students leaving prior to our 2:35 dismissal time must be signed out by a parent before leaving the building. If you need someone else to pick your student up, please leave that person's information on the attendance line as well.
