Nit Check Update

Today was the first day in a few years that we, the PAC, have been allowed in to check the students' heads for nits. Due to circumstances, only myself and Maria were able to meet. As such, we were only able to do two classrooms. Our thanks to the teachers for inviting us in.

Not surprisingly, nits were found in both classrooms. Messages will be sent out for those classrooms today. As we are able, we will going into EACH classroom. So don't worry if we haven't gotten to your child's class. We will get there... and we will be doing regular, monthly checks.

I found a great web-site for more information on Lice and Nits: www.headlice.org
Give it a read-over even if your child has never had lice. If you don't know what you are looking for, or how to fight it... it could just get worse.

If you need equipment or solutions to a chronic nit/lice problem, please do not hesitate to contact myself, on behalf of the PAC, or Jackie Phalen at the school.

Meanwhile, encourage your child NOT to share hair care products (brushes, barrettes & bands), toques/hats, scarves, hoodies, helmets etc.
