From the Health Office
Kansas State Statute 72-6251 requires all students enrolled in Kansas schools to receive a free annual dental screening. Sunflower will be providing a free dental screening to all students enrolled during this school year on 01/07/2026.
Oral health is vital to a child's overall well-being and ability to learn. While this screening is not a substitute for a visit to your dentist, it helps monitor students' dental health.
Passive consent is assumed. All students will be screened unless a parent or guardian requests to opt-out. To opt out: Please reach out to the Health Office via email at: barnesj@usd385.org
