A few cases of head lice have been identified within the school. As many of you know, this is not reflective of the cleanliness of the students or the households. Lice are easily transmitted from student to student. Classroom precautions are being taken, however, you would be advised to check your child for the possibility of head lice. It is a good idea to examine your child on a regular basis in order to catch an infestation early. Your physician can advise the proper shampoo to treat this problem. An information sheet accompanies this letter on the reverse side. An excellent resource can also be found on the CDC website:
