Pediculosis (Head Lice)

Posted September 24, 2020

The presence of head lice continues to be a community problem. They do not cause disease and they don’t result from a lack of cleanliness, but they are certainly a nuisance.  The control of head lice requires the cooperative effort of parents, school personnel and health officials.  Parents are responsible for meeting their child’s personal well-being, health and safety needs.  This includes treating your child’s hair (if head lice have been found), checking for nits daily for two weeks after the treatment, and notifying the school that treatment has been carried out.
