Jefferson Central School conducted a “Lockdown Drill” today, Friday October 27.

Seal a Smile Oral Health Services, a free dental preventative care group, will be coming to Jefferson Central School tentatively November 6th & 7th.. They provide dental cleanings, dental sealants, dental screenings, fluoride treatments and classroom education on dental hygiene and care. These services are for both elementary and high school students. If tooth decay is noted during the exam, Seal a Smile will notify you and help you to coordinate a visit to a dental practice. Families are not charged for these services even if you have dental insurance or see another dental provider.
Facts about dental health:
● Oral health can affect the rest of your health. Bacteria in your mouth can cause endocarditis (a heart infection) and contribute to heart conditions.
● Buildup of plaque on the teeth can lead to gum inflammation and loss of teeth.
● Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease and is almost always preventable.
● Oral disease can cause pain and infections that lead to problems with eating, speaking, and learning, while also affecting social interactions.
A consent form has been sent home with elementary children. If a high school student is interested in a free dental cleaning please see Mrs. Brandow. The forms need to be returned to the school nurse if you wish to have your child receive dental services through Seal a Smile. If you have any further questions please contact the nurse, Mrs. Brandow at 607-652-1259.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during today's lockout. Please read on for details regarding this incident.
This afternoon there was police activity across the street from the school followed by a report that an individual fled the scene. Out of an abundance of precaution, we entered into a lockout. This means that we secured the building and did not let anyone leave or enter the building. We were instructed by law enforcement that we would be notified when we could lift the lockout. For the safety of our drivers and students, buses enroute to the school were diverted.
After being cleared by the State Police, we resumed general operations and lifted the lockout.
Jefferson Central School has lifted the lockout. Thank you for your cooperation.
