Our staff and parents will work to prevent the infestation and spread of head lice by doing the following:
- Encouraging students to store Coats, backpacks, and hats in designated areas.
- If a student is found to have head lice or nits, he/she will be sent home for treatment and will not be allowed back until re-examined and found free of infestation of lice or nits.
- All siblings of the student (in the school) will be checked for infestation. If lice is found, each student having signs of lice will be sent home for treatment. A note will be sent home with the students of that room.
- School personnel will informally check all other students in his/her class for infestation.
- If many students in the school are infected, a general school-wide check may be held.
