If you are interested in helping plan or attending the camp, please contact Mr. Sawin. During the spring cases of head lice are common. It is good practice to periodically check your child's hair for evidence of head lice or nits. Head lice are small grayish-white to rust colored wingless insects. Often live adult lice are not found, but nits are found.
Nits are oval, whitish eggs attached to shafts of hair.
The nits do not flake off easily. If your child has nits or live lice, you must treat everyone in your household in order to be certain you have stopped the lice from spreading throughout your household. You also need to wash all bedding and thoroughly clean the rest of your house. Additional information regarding treatment and prevention is available through the office or school nurse. Please notify the school if head lice are found on your child.
