Head Lice Are Not Nice
Head Lice
No matter what time of year they come, they are not welcome. Our school sees it’s share of these little bugs and when they invade your child’s head, they demand a great deal of time and focus to get rid of them. If your child gets lice, please research the issue. Being informed is the first defense. Nancy, the school nurse, can help with treatment suggestions. She may also be able to provide lice-killing shampoo and nit combs.
Do Not Come to School
If your child has lice she/he must be kept at home! Do not send your child to school while in any stage of having lice! When you believe you have gotten rid of all living lice and their eggs, you must have your child checked by Nancy before she/he can return to class. Don’t be afraid to ask around: there are many success stories in our community of those who have successfully rid themselves and their households of these irritating bugs.
Be Diligent: You Can Do It!
Probably the only upside to having lice is that when it’s all said and done, your house will be very clean. That’s the good news. Besides having solvent-based and oil-based potions on hand, you’ll need: patience, good lighting, a fine-tooth nit comb, a washing machine and a dryer and a vacuum. Books on tape are good too.

Don’t be ashamed if lice come into your life. Lice happen. Do your best to get rid of them and let your friends and family know if you’ve had recent contact. Good luck!
