The Bear Necessities

Happy Tuesday Hannum Families!

Just wanted to send a special shout out to all of the parents/PTA members who helped create a fun friendship experience for all of our Bears last Friday! Our hearts are filled. ❤️❤️

Kindness Week

This week, our Bears have been participating in Kindness Week. Check out our flyer below for more details to join in on the fun for the remainder of the week!

Smile Programs

Hannum School has partnered with Smile Programs, the mobile dentists, to offer in-school dental care.

This dental care is usually at no cost to you. All insurance is accepted including Medicaid and CHiP. For those without insurance a low cost self-pay option is available.

This in-school dental program saves you time and provides a safe and comfortable place for your child to receive gentle care from licensed local professionals. Dental care includes a complete dental exam, x-rays, cleaning , fluoride and sealants when necessary, and in some cases, restorative care such as fillings.

• They will be at Hannum School April 8, 2024.

If you are interested in using this program please fill out the application that has been sent home and return it to school by February 23, 2024. Please call the health office with any questions.

Once pre-registered, you will be prompted to take a picture of yourself and answer the questions, including DL#. Once you do this they will be in the system. You will receive their QR code via text and email. This QR code is what you will use when checking into the school for a visit.
