Anyone can get head lice...mainly through direct head-to-head contact but also from sharing hats, brushes and other personal items. Head lice are a problem in many communities and do not reflect poor hygiene.
Please check your child on a regular basis as lice infestation is much easier to treat if caught early. Call your family doctor for recommendations for specific FDA approved products to use if lice are found.
Be sure to consult reliable sources of health information when looking for ways to treat and prevent head lice.
These sources include:
The American Academy of Pediatrics Head Lice: What Parents need to know.
If you discover a case of head lice, please notify the school health office. If you have any questions, you may contact the school nurse at 908-464-7100 x2615 or email: lkral@npsdnj.org
Thank you!
