Free Community Health Day!



It’s time to protect yourself against the flu!

Dent Middle School and Prisma Health have partnered to provide a free community health day on Saturday, October 4, 2019. Come get your FREE flu shot from 10 am- 1 pm.
Yearly flu vaccination is the best tool currently available to protect against the flu! Influenza, commonly called the Flu, is a serious disease you can get from anyone infected. Healthy people can get it and adults and children with other chronic diseases, such as diabetes or asthma, are even more at risk.
Prisma Health is helping protect you and your family with free flu shots. The flu shot is available for anyone six months and older. Insurance is not required. Dent Middle School is located at 2721 Decker Blvd., Columbia, SC.


For more information, visit PalmettoHealthChildrens.org/flu.

Annual Registration



Don't delay! It is time for you to do your update!
ANNUAL REGISTRATION
Parents -
It is that important time of year when you prepare for the following school year! In order for your child to be placed in a class for the 2019-20 school year, you must have completed the District's annual registration and provided a current proof of residency. When this task is taken care of now, you will not miss out on any important information that is shared during the summer as we are not allowed to add students to the school's system until this has been completed. We promise - it's won't take long!
You can find more information and take care of this VERY IMPORTANT task by visiting the Annual Registration webpage.
