​

Spring and Fall are the seasons when head lice (pediculosis) are most prevalent in school 

children. Your assistance in early detection is greatly appreciated. Please check your child for

head lice weekly. If you find evidence of head lice, please contact the school immediately.

This will allow us to notify other parents in the classrooms affected so that they may check

their child. Children who are suspected of having head lice will be excused until appropriate

treatment has been administered.

Infestation by head lice is an unpleasant nuisance, but not a health problem. Head lice do not

carry or spread disease. By working together we can control the spread of head lice in our

community.
