Morning Drop-Off
Student drop off in car rider lanes in the morning:
*Please have your child ready to get out of the car on the PASSENGER SIDE.
*If you are in the outside lane in the front of the school, PLEASE wait for a teacher to open the door and walk your child through the inside lane. It is very dangerous letting them out on their own.
*If you are in the inside lane by the curb, your child may get out on his/her own.
By following these rules, it will help the car rider drop off lanes move quickly.
Thank you! :)

LICE INFORMATION
Welcome Back! As you may know head lice cases in our schools throughout the district are on the rise. Here’s some information on what you can do if lice hit your home.
What are head lice?
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live close to the human scalp. They feed on blood. The eggs, also called nits, are tiny, tear-drop shaped eggs that attach to the hair shaft. Nits often appear yellowish or white, and can look like dandruff but cannot be removed or brushed off.
Who is affected by head lice?
Just about anyone - head lice are not related to cleanliness. In fact, head lice often infest people with good hygiene and grooming habits. Infestations can occur at home, school, after school childcare programs, or in the community. Head lice are most commonly spread by direct head-to-head contact but are also spread by objects that have been in recent contact with a person with head lice, such as hats, scarves, hair ribbons, combs, brushes, stuffed animals or bedding.
Please check your child's head weekly for any signs of live lice or nits. For children with longer hair please keep up in a braid or bun.
What to do if an infestation occurs?
If you think your child has head lice, call me or stop by the clinic. I will be more than happy to check your child’s hair. It’s also important to talk to a healthcare provider. Resistance to over-the-counter head lice treatments has been reported. I have found that using a lice comb and then handpicking the remaining nits off the hair to be the best treatment. This needs to be repeated frequently until there are no more live lice or nits found. There are also professional nit removal services. Call my office for info.
