Head Lice 

Dear Parents,

As infestations are particularly common in primary schools, is best to choose a treatment that can be used over time. There is no single solution to eradication, only persistence.

We are experiencing many repeated cases of head lice in our classes.

Head Lice is a continual problem in schools and we ask you to check your child’s hair regularly, and if found treat them accordingly.

• regularly check your children's hair
• teach older children to check their own hair
• tie back and braid long hair
• keep a fine tooth head lice comb in the bathroom and encourage all family members to use it when they wash their hair.
