Lice

Head lice, although not an illness or a disease, is very common among children and is spread very easily through head-to-head contact during play, sports, or nap time, and when children share things like brushes, combs, hats, and headphones.

If head lice are identified at home, please notify your school nurse. If it is observed at school that a student has head lice, the school nurse will notify the student's parent or guardian. Notice will then be provided to parents of elementary students in the affected classroom, maintaining privacy for the initial student. 

Students may not be excluded from school for the presence of live lice or nits.
