Lice Position Statement Dear Parents: Head lice have become more and more of a problem over the last few years. The number of children infested with head lice is increasing all across the country. Control of head lice depends on prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. Your help in inspecting your child throughout the school year for the presence of head lice would be greatly appreciated. We suggest the following procedure for inspecting your child for head lice: 1. Under bright light begin looking at the back of the head just above the neck area. 2. Part the hair section by section and look closely for head lice or nits (eggs). Nits will usually be located near the scalp. 3. Depending on the length and thickness of the hair, it should take between 5 and 15 minutes to properly inspect a child's head. In an effort to ensure that our school is free of lice and nits, the following procedure will be followed if a child is found to have lice or nits. 1. If live lice or nits are found, parents/guardians will be contacted immediately and asked to pick up the child. 2. Parents/Guardians will be asked to treat the student to ensure no lice or nits are present before re-entry to school. 3. When the child returns to school, the child will be checked to ensure that no lice or nits are present. If lice or nits are detected, the school will ask that the child remain at home. 4. After re-entry to school, students will be checked again after 7-10 days to ensure the eradication of the lice or nits. We truly appreciate your help and understanding with this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the school.
