Head Lice/Nits Information:
Lice infestation has nothing to do with socioeconomic status or hygiene
standards.
Anyone can get head lice. Lice and nits are commonly
transmitted in children when they share combs, brushes, hats and coats.
Lice checks are performed on students when a parent or teacher suspects
their child/student has lice or if classmates and/or siblings have lice.
If a student is found to have live head lice, their parent/guardian will be
notified to take their child home.
The child must be treated
and have most of the nits removed from the hair shafts before returning
to school.
Students may not return to school until all live lice have been removed.
The Health Office Staff must recheck the student's hair prior to
returning to school. Elementary school Health Office Staff will send
home a general letter when lice have been detected in the classroom of
your student.
