Head Lice

When children are discovered to have head lice or nits, they are sent home until they are treated. If you discover your child has lice, please let me know, so I check the other children in the class to limit the possible spread in the classroom. When a child returns to school after having lice they must be checked by the nurse before going to class. A second treatment must be done 7-10 days after the first.

Remember:

Do not share combs,hats, or anything that touches the child's head.

Check your child's head regularly.

Nits cling to hair shaft: dandruff flakes off.

Head Lice crawl. they do not fly.
