Pediculosis

The Ministry of Health does not designate Pediculosis as a communicable disease, and as such, it is not considered a health hazard to the community. Anyone can get head lice, regardless of cleanliness. Head lice is not a public hazard, as it does not cause illness, but they are a nuisance. Please check your child’s head regularly for lice or nits. If you find lice or nits, contact the school office. Students will be readmitted to school once parents have confirmed treatment has been administered as per the Board policy.
