Dental Health
NPS has partnered with Big Smiles, a mobile dental program, to offer in-school dental care. The goal is to hold dental clinics at each school in the fall and the spring.
The time each student will be out of the classroom will vary depending in part if restorative care needs to be done in addition to the routine prevention care. The average visit duration is between 30 and 50 minutes. We will make every effort to minimize the impact on their time away from the classroom.
Here are the dates for each school so you are aware and can plan accordingly:
NES:
Fall: September 22 & 23, 2025
Spring: March 23, 24, and 25, 2026
NMS:
Fall: September 29, 2025
Spring: March 30, 2026
NHS:
Fall: September 30 & October 1, 2025
Spring: March 31 & April 1, 2026
