Pediculosis checks (head checks for lice)- It is recommended that parents check their child's head periodically throughout the school year. Waiting for someone else to check a child's head may delay treatment. If you have questions about whether or not your child may have lice, contact the school nurses.
Teachers and parents can request that a student be screened if they suspect that a problem is occurring - for example, if a child complains that they have trouble seeing the board, either the teacher or the parent can request that the nurse do a vision screening.Parents will be notified if a child fails a screening. In some cases, we will advise you to check with your health care provider for additional testing or treatment if it is indicated.
