Unfortunately, a 3rd case of lice has been reported in our classroom.
We have taken action by removing all pillows, cushions, stuffies, as well as closing the reading loft until further notice. As a preventative measure, our classroom carpets have been treated with industrial strength lice spray furnished by the district.
Please, please check your child's hair every day. Eggs and lice are hard to detect, but easier to see next to a window with natural light.
Our preventative tips are:
a) spray hair daily with Lice Shield
b) keep hair tied back or braided
c) put coats and backpacks in the dryer after school every day -
on high for 30 minutes to kill lice
d) have students put coats inside backpacks when they're at school
If you find eggs or live lice:
a) use mayonnaise to coat hair, leaving in for an hour
b) rinse with olive oil or vinegar
c) use Rid, found at most drug stores - follow directions carefully, repeating for several days, until no sign of eggs or lice are found
We apologize for the situation and inconvenience. In order to control this outbreak, we need to all work together to end this problem.
