NURSE RX
We have recently been notified of cases of head lice in the community. Please check your student periodically and if you find evidence of head lice, immediate treatment should be given. If your child requires treatment, please contact me so I will know to assess other students who have close contact or might have shared personal items.
MSBSD head lice policy is that if live lice are found in the hair, the parent will be notified to use over-the counter treatment and the next day an examination of the student will take place and the student may remain at school if there is no presence of live lice. If live lice are still present, the student must return home and will be excluded from school until all live lice are gone.
Lice are “equal opportunity” parasites. They infest all socioeconomic groups, races, genders and ages, but are more commonly found in children due to their close contact with each other. While head lice are not considered an infectious disease, they are contagious. Head lice are wingless insects and cannot jump or fly. They move by crawling and are spread primarily through direct head to head contact such as during close play at home or school, slumber parties, sports activities or camp. It is also possible, though not common, to spread head lice through the sharing of personal items such as hats, scarves, helmets, brushes, combs, towels or pillows. It is important for you to know that lice are not a sign of poor hygiene and they do not spread disease. If someone in your child’s class at school develops head lice, there is no reason to panic and automatically assume that your child will “catch” head lice. Head lice do not jump from person to person.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nurse Moore.
