 Unfortunately, due to headlice some students are absent for long periods of time. Every school's policy is that if your child has headlice, then they are sent home for the proper treatment with an appropriate medicated product.
The policy of the school includes: following the medicated treatment, remove ALL dead lice and/or nits from the hair either by using a nit comb or by hand.
THE SCHOOL NURSE MUST RECHECK THE STUDENT BEFORE RETURNING TO THE CLASSROOM. THE CHILD MUST BE FREE OF DEAD LICE/NITS.
It is important to remember that a female adult louse will live 10 days on the head and in those 10 days will produce 150 nits which will hatch in one week - so the sooner you take action the better.
 Headlice cannot live more than 2 days off the head. It's important for other family members to get checked and treated. Cleaning personal items such as bedding, furniture, carpets, vacuuming your car, putting stuffed animals in the dryer on high heat for approx. 30 minutes.
To help prevent re-infestation, most products require a repeat treatment 7-10 days later along with checking every night during that week. Also, I recommend that you check your child at least 2-3X week thereafter.
We do appreciate every parent's effort in keeping headlice under control. Just a reminder to keep checking heads over the summer months as the School Nurse Program will start rechecking again in September.
