GPISD Head Lice Policy
Head lice, although not an illness or a disease, is very common among children and is spread very easily through head-to-head contact during play, sports, or nap time and when children share things like brushes, combs, hats, and headphones. Based upon specialized training and the professional judgement of the school nurse, students with live lice or signs of active infestation will be excluded from school. Students who have been sent home should receive prompt treatment for lice and expected to return to school the following day, free of organisms. Parents should check their child’s head for lice, weekly. If head lice are found, the hair must be treated before the child returns to school on the following day. Upon return to school, the student and parent/guardian must report directly to the school nurse, provide information about the treatment utilized and have the student’s hair checked before reporting to class. Chronic cases and instances of non-treatment will result in unexcused absences.For more information on head lice click on the links below: Englishs3.amazonaws.com/scschoolfiles/552/head_lice_101_english.pdf
Los piojos, aunque no son una enfermedad, son muy comunes entre los niños y se propagan fácilmente por contacto directo durante el juego, los deportes o la siesta, y al compartir objetos como cepillos, peines, gorros y auriculares.
Con base en la capacitación especializada y el criterio profesional de la enfermera escolar, los estudiantes con piojos vivos o signos de infestación activa serán expulsados de la escuela. Los estudiantes que hayan sido enviados a casa deben recibir tratamiento inmediato contra los piojos y se espera que regresen a la escuela al día siguiente sin piojos.
Los padres deben revisar la cabeza de sus hijos semanalmente para detectar piojos. Si se encuentran piojos, el cabello debe tratarse antes de que el niño regrese a la escuela al día siguiente. Al regresar a la escuela, el estudiante y el padre/tutor deben reportarse directamente a la enfermera escolar, proporcionar información sobre el tratamiento utilizado y hacer que le revisen el cabello antes de ir a clase. Los casos crónicos y la falta de tratamiento resultarán en ausencias injustificadas.
