Middlesex Elementary School has arranged for a dentist to come right to the school.
By seeing the in-school dentist, you can keep your child healthy, in school, and learning.
Plus, it’s easy and convenient for you.
Simply go to www.myschooldentist.com or fill out and sign the permission form and return it to the school with your child.

We want to thank physicians from our elite medical team of third grade students (Carson, Olivia, Blake, Luka, De'Jah, Caroline, & Skylar) who shared their medical math experiences with board members last night. Mrs. Longest, Mrs. Knighton, and Mrs. Van Buskirk collaborated to design a room transformation that would take students into the medical field while exploring place value and comparing & ordering whole numbers.
