Fevers Please keep your children home for 24 hours after their temperature returns to normal.

When checking your child for nits and head lice, look carefully behind the ears, at the back of the neck, and forehead.
Lice look something like fleas, but are difficult to see and move quickly.
If you see signs of head lice or nits, please notify the PES School Nurse for support and treatment information, and so that your child s classmates can be checked. More treatment information is available in the Health Office. Children must be checked by the School Nurse and be NIT FREE before being readmitted to school. Thank you for your help with this policy, which limits the further spread of head lice in the school setting.
