Head Lice Information
Please notify the school’s nurse if your child or family has head lice. Head lice can be distressing, but can occur in the cleanest families. Lice must be treated and your child must be nit free and checked by the school nurse before returning to class. Remind your child not to share combs, brushes, and clothing or head wear such as caps or helmets. Children infested with head lice will be sent home. Parents will be informed of the necessary treatment and procedures to get their child back in school. Immediate treatment is necessary to ensure that the child is excluded from school as little as possible.
The California Department of Public Health has a Parent’s Guide to Head Lice that provides information for treatment and prevention of head lice. You can access the brochure or contact the school nurse for assistance.
