Head lice exposure is a possibility whenever groups of children are together. We ask for your help in controlling the problem by checking your child’s head once a week. The school nurse will check students who are scratching persistently in the classroom. If the child is found to have a head lice infestation you will be notified right away. Our school nurses are available if you would like more information about head lice. A useful website is www.hsph.harvard.edu/headice.
