Note from the Nurse
I wanted to do a quick check in with you regarding head lice in school. I will say, we experienced a delightful break from these nuisance pests for a few years post-Covid, but now, they seem to be making their come back. We have experienced a few cases this school year, so I just wanted to send a reminder to everyone to routinely check your children throughout the year, especially when you notice they are scratching their heads more than usual.
We know a few cases will pop up throughout the year, this is normal – but if we all work together, we can keep these episodes to a minimum. If you have any questions fee free to reach out. You can view a fact and guideline sheet from ACPS by clicking HERE.
