A NOTE FROM THE NURSE….
This is just a reminder to be alert to the signs of head lice. The most common way that head lice are spread is through direct (head-to-head) contact. Children in the elementary age group are in close contact with each other through sleep-overs, play, church, classroom activities, etc. Head lice do NOT fly or jump and can only live off the host for a day or so. Head lice do not infest our pets. If you see your child scratching his or her head frequently, or if you hear, “My head itches,” check your child’s head carefully for head lice. Children frequently feel the head lice before you can see them, so continue to check daily if your child is complaining. Look carefully for any live lice or nits (eggs). Nits are teardrop shaped, are about the size of a type written comma, and are clear to brown in color. They are “glued” firmly to the hair shaft usually within 1-2 inches of the scalp, often behind the ears or in the hair at the back of the neck. Nits cannot be washed out but must be picked or combed out. If you find that your child has lice or nits, do not panic. Contact your child’s doctor, a pharmacist, or your child’s school nurse for advice. Do not send your child back to school until he or she has been treated and nits removed. It is important to contact the school and the parents of any of your child’s regular playmates. If you would like further information or have any questions regarding head lice, please contact our School Nurse, Mrs. Wiethe at 398-8050, extension 15025 or via email at lwiethe@kingslocal.net.
