My child has lice. What do I have to do?
If you discover that your child has head lice, you must notify us immediately. In addition, your child may not return to school until he or she is free of lice and nits.
If we find lice on your child, we will call you and send your child home. If we are unable to reach you, we will seat your child separately from the others until we can contact you to prevent further spread. If head lice are detected, all children and parents in the class—and, if necessary, in the after-school care program—will be informed via the “head lice notice.”
