Dear Panther Parents !!!
Its Happing Again !!! We have had multiple reported cases of Head Lice in our school.
Its Happing Again !!! We have had multiple reported cases of Head Lice in our school.
Please can everyone check your child’s hair and treat it if you find “bugs” ”eggs” ”nits” !!!
This should be done every 3 days for 2 weeks !!!
Many of our parents are extremely caring and keep us informed if their child has been unlucky enough to have caught head lice, and have treated it.
However, some are not treating the problem – therefore this issue continues. Please can we ask you all to support by checking your child’s hair.
The Cascade school district follows ODE guidelines concerning head lice. All policies can be found on the district web site.
TREATMENT :
Lice Treatment Medications
Lice treatments are available over the counter. They include shampoos, lotions, and cream rinses.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor to recommend a product that’s safe to use.
How to Get Rid of Lice in Your Home
Lice can crawl off your body onto things nearby, like bedding, towels, and hats. However, they need human blood to survive, so they do not live long after they fall off your body.
Use Heat. Wash any items used or worn by the person in hot water, and dry them on high heat. Lice and nits die when exposed to temperatures higher than 130 F for more than 5 minutes.
Wash anything that touched the person’s skin or scalp, including jackets, hats, scarves, pillowcases, sheets, and headbands.
Bag items in plastic. If you cannot toss the items into the washer and dryer, seal them in a plastic bag for 2 weeks.
Vacuum. Vacuum rugs, sofas, upholstery, other furniture, and floors to remove hairs that may have active lice eggs attached.
Clean hair tools. Soak brushes, combs, and other hair accessories in hot, soapy water for 5 to 10 minutes.
If you have a concern regard your child hair, and would like to have your student checked please contact Your school Nurse.

Please help us keep kids safe and reduce congestion when dropping off and picking up your kids.
- If you need to walk into the school, please park in the parking lot and walk your child in.
- When dropping off your child at the curb, please drop and go. Do not stop and watch your child walk all the way to the door as this backs up traffic. The staff will make sure your child safely gets to where they need to go.
- Please keep the crosswalks clear.
