Good afternoon,

We have had another outbreak of lice in the school and in the class. Lice can be particularly difficult to get rid of and require time and diligence to make sure that we keep lice outbreaks from re-occurring.

Please carefully check your child tonight for lice. It will require more than just a casual check. Please check through each section of your child’s head, slowly moving from front to back and side to side. If you think about the amount of hair you would fit between two fingers as if you were going to cut it, that is about the same amount you should be sifting through as you search your child’s hair.

Please also have a conversation about how to try to keep your child from getting in contact with their friend’s hair.

With diligence and carefulness, we can hopefully get rid of this visitor.
