The Ohio Department of Health is no longer able to provide supplies for administering Fluoride in the school setting. Students previously were able to participate in the SWISH program for weekly dental fluoride treatments during the school year.

As a result, James A. Garfield students will not be receiving this service beginning with the current school year. Please take this opportunity to let your dental care provider and primary care provider know of this change in your student’s health care regime so that they can discuss possible options with you.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Susan Poole-Wilke, school nurse, at spoole@jagschools.org.
