Head Lice

Student will be sent home if lice or nits (eggs) are identified. The student may not ride the bus or attend school until cleared by the nurse.  The student must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to school after treatment and report directly to the nurse for screening.  If no nits/lice are identified, the student may remain in school. Students are rechecked at days 7, 10, 14, 21, and 30 after initial clearance.  If nits or lice are identified at any time during this process, the student will be sent home and the protocol begins again.
