Head lice do not carry any disease, nor does their presence mean that you or your child are dirty.
Head lice can infest anyone.
To prevent further spread of head lice to other students, this condition should be treated immediately. Your child will not be allowed to return to class until the infestation has been properly treated. You may wish to consult your family physician, a local pharmacist, the school nurse, or you can follow the recommendations below. In addition, you should inspect the entire family for head lice as your child may have spread it to other members. Upon return to school your child will be inspected by the school nurse to determine that the head lice infestation no longer exists.
