The head lice issue can only be dealt

with if families and schools work

together.

To control the spread of head lice, it is

essential that parents regular check

their children and appropriately treat

them if affected.

Periodically, or as needed, classes are

checked for head lice. We check the

entire class so that one or two

students are not singled out.

If a student is found infected with lice

or the nits, he/she will be sent home

to receive treatment.

Before students are allowed back in
