HEAD LICE: PLEASE READ FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are sending this letter to parents to increase head lice awareness so that you may take steps at home to help prevent your child from becoming infested with head lice. Any time children come together, particularly at the start of the school year or any social grouping like Girl/Cub Scouts, Brownies or Little League, head lice cases commonly increase. Please encourage your child not to share or trade personal items such as hats, combs, brushes, headbands, barrettes, as well as helmets or headphones with foam ear protectors.
Direct, physical, head-to-head contact is the usual method of transmission, along with shared hats, scarfs, hairbrushes, etc. Lice do not jump, fly or swim. They are, however, good crawlers. Check your child’s head weekly for lice and/or nits (eggs). Mature lice, which are no bigger than a sesame seed, avoid light and are hard to see. Lice eggs or “nits” are usually found close to the scalp – usually within ¼ inch. They appear as tiny whitish ovals that are “glued” to the hair shaft. They cannot easily be flicked away as dandruff can. Head lice do not transmit disease and are not a serious medical condition. They cannot survive on your pets. If you find head lice on your child, please notify the school and keep him or her home until properly treated. Please note that a second treatment is required within 7-10 days after the initial treatment to kill any eggs that may have hatched.
Check Regularly – Treat Quickly
Help Keep Head Lice Off Your Child
Sincerely,
Eva Pasiewicz, Principal
Barb Glee, Health Assistant
