Wishing you all well

Participa! is wishing you all well during this quarantine time.  Though this time has been a difficult adjustment for most of us, we hope it has also been positive in some way for you too.

Participa! is working on changes for the upcoming school year to ensure the safety of our students and staff! We are working closely with the Office of Oral Health, following the guidance of Center for Disease Control and OSHA guidelines. Our top priority is safety and to maintain your trust with your favorite student.

Keep your heads up and work on good oral hygiene habits! Children with tooth pain are three times more likely to miss school than those without tooth pain.
