Dental Bus Coming to Sturgis Elementary!
The Delta Dental Mobile Program is coming to Sturgis Elementary September 15-19, 2025. They provide dental exams, preventive services, cleanings, and cavity fillings at no charge for students who have not seen a local dentist in over 2 years, or those who live more than 85 miles from the nearest dentist. Prioritization will be given to children without private dental insurance or a home dentist.
If you are interested in having your child visit the dental bus, please contact the office at 605-347-2386. Paperwork must be completed and given to the school nurse to schedule your child. This service is open to all students in Meade School District.

Safety
Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.
Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
