Please make it part of your routine at home to check your child often for head lice. Early detection is and treatment is the best way to stop the spread. If you find lice on your child, please treat them properly and inform the school nurse. They are required to be checked in the clinic before returning to class. Below are some tips to keep our students healthy and lice free!

The best way to prevent transmission:

·        Teach children not to share combs, brushes, hair ornaments, hats, caps, scarves.

·        Do not try on other people’s hats (even in department stores).

·        Teach children to hang coats separately-placing hats and scarves inside coat/jacket sleeves.

·        Clean or disinfect shared headgear (i.e., helmets) with Lysol or rubbing alcohol before being used by others.

·        Conduct regular head checks of your child.

If head lice are found on your child:

·        Check others in the household for signs of head lice or nits. If found, complete remaining steps on all infested individuals.

·        Use a shampoo labeled for treating head lice.

·        Remove nits from the head by combing. This is the most important lice control measure. Complete nit removal is time-consuming but is critical for successful treatment.

·        Remove all of the lice and nits from the environment by washing or vacuuming. There is no need to spray pesticides at home.

·        Perform daily head check and remove nits for 3 weeks until head lice are gone. Continue to check your child weekly to detect reinfestation.
