Head Lice (Pediculosis)

Help us prevent the spread of lice. Please check your child's hair closely if you suspect head lice. Early identification is important.

Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live on the human scalp and are transmitted by direct head-to-head contact. Head lice do not fly or jump.

You may come to school once the head lice is treated. Click here to read about treatment options. Consult your doctor with further questions or for more information.
