Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the weather turns colder and students begin wearing hats, scarves, and other winter gear, we want to take a moment to remind everyone about head lice prevention. While lice are not dangerous, they are certainly inconvenient, and taking a few simple precautions can help reduce their spread.
What parents can do:
  • Avoid sharing personal items such as hats, brushes, combs, hair accessories, and headphones.
  • Check your child’s head regularly, especially around the ears and at the nape of the neck.
  • Encourage long hair to be worn up in braids, buns, or ponytails.
  • Remind your child not to have head-to-head contact during play or photos.
  • Notify the school nurse if you discover lice or nits so we can discreetly support your family and monitor for additional cases.
Our goal is to minimize outbreaks while keeping students comfortable, healthy, and uninterrupted in their learning. If you have any questions or need guidance on checking for or treating lice, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your cooperation and support!
