CURRENT CLINIC HAPPENINGS:

October 6, 2025: There have been confirmed cases of head lice in several of our Natick Public School buildings. While head lice can be a nuisance, it is not a communicable disease or a significant health concern. Please click to review the NPS policy on head lice (pediculosis). Our NPS nurses support policy that is grounded in evidence-based research rather than stigma or fear. 

Please remember that it is the parents/guardians responsibility to conduct regular checks of their students hair, to begin AAP-approved treatment if any nits or lice are found, and to notify close contacts. In most cases, an infestation has likely been present for several weeks before detection.
