Principal's Update 04/23/2025

Hello Roadrunner Families!

I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful spring weather!  The students have been loving recess and the time in the sun!  It is that time of year when weather can be very different from day to day.  Please make sure you check the weather and have your student ready to be outside for at least 20 minutes during recess.  Mr. Peterson is also gearing up for our track and field unit in PE which means PE may be outside some days too!  

We hope to see many of you at our final family night, the Neill School Carnival, this Friday from 5:30 - 7:30.  Every student needs to be accompanied by a parent/guardian, it is not a drop off event.  Ticket sales are cash only.  There will be two food trucks available and they take both cash and cards.  We hope to see many of you there!  

Finally, check out the information below about our Ready, Set, Smile free dental clinic.  We still have space available for families who are interested!  

In Partnership,

Principal Smith

Our mission at Ready, Set, Smile is to prepare and empower all children in our community to care for their oral health through education and preventive services.  We have partnered with your school to provide dental screenings, cavity prevention, and education to your family at NO COST! 

Our goal is to ensure every child has access, information and a positive dental experience.  Classroom education and treatment are completed during the school day.  No needles or drills are involved in our treatment to allow children to have a positive experience.  

Your child will receive:

  • A dental screening
  • A tooth brush and floss cleaning
  • Fluoride
  • Cavity-prevention-fluoride and sealants
  • Silver diamine fluoride
  • (SDF) and temporary fillings if needed and authorized by parent
