Lice Update
There have been multiple reported cases of head lice at Trombly. We are attempting to schedule an all school check conducted by a professional..
Lice are a parasitic insect that can be found on the head, eyebrows, and eyelashes of people. Head lice feed on human blood several times a day and live close to the human scalp. Head lice are not known to spread disease. They are more of a nuisance. Lice is not a result of dirty hair or hygiene. Lice can occur in hair of any length or condition.
Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact. However, much less frequently they are spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to shed hairs may have fallen. The risk of getting infested by a louse that has fallen onto a carpet or furniture is very small. Head lice survive less than 1–2 days if they fall off a person and cannot feed; nits cannot hatch and usually die within a week if they are not kept at the same temperature as that found close to the scalp
The following are steps that can be taken to help prevent and control the spread of head lice:
Avoid head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact during play and other activities at home, school, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp).
Do not share clothing such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, hair ribbons, or barrettes.
Do not share combs, brushes, or towels. Disinfest combs and brushes used by an infested person by soaking them in hot water (at least 130°F) for 5–10 minutes.
Do not lie on beds, couches, pillows, carpets, or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with an infested person.
Machine wash and dry clothing, bed linens, and other items that an infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment using the hot water (130°F) laundry cycle and the high heat drying cycle. Clothing and items that are not washable can be dry-cleaned OR sealed in a plastic bag and stored for 2 weeks.
Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay. However, spending much time and money on housecleaning activities is not necessary to avoid reinfestation by lice or nits that may have fallen off the head or crawled onto furniture or clothing.
Do not use fumigant sprays or fogs; they are not necessary to control head lice and can be toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
To help control a head lice outbreak in school, children can be taught to avoid activities that may spread head lice. If lice is detected in your child’s hair, we ask you to please inform the school. In turn, the school can alert other parents to be checking their child’s hair.
Some of the above information was taken from the Center for Disease Control’s website.

Champion Chow Down
Once a month in PE class, we discuss nutritional eating habits and learn more about how to make smart choices at meal times so that our food will help our bodies grow strong and stay healthy! Students will not be forced to eat anything, but I will encourage everyone to try everything once to see if they like it or not.
If you’d like to help our Champion Chow Down program, please volunteer to bring in a small fruit and/or veggie snack for each student in your child’s classroom on the assigned day for that month. Extra cool points for volunteers who select rare or exotic choices of fruits and veggies!
The third Champion Chow Down of the year will take place on December 10th (C Day) and 11th (D Day)
The snacks must be available to the class during their assigned PE time, so please check the teachers' PE class day and time when you sign up. You can bring them during class time or drop them off ahead of time, whichever is easiest for you!
