There as been a case of lice found in our room this year. Today I am sending home a newsletter about lice and how it can be taken care of in your child’s hair if they are found and around your house. A common misconception is that your child’s hair will itch. This is the case for some because they are reacting to the lice but others will not itch and could still have lice. It is also possible for them to be under scarves. Please check the hair of your child to double check. Adult lice will be brown whereas the other lice will look white. Eggs that have been hatched will also be white whereas the the unhatched eggs will be brown still. Lastly, please remind your child about being careful when it comes to contact with others. I have explained for them not to have their heads close to any other student so that we are not spreading the lice in case they do have it.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Ms. Oldani
