ANNOUNCEMENT: It’s LICE Season!
Head Lice: What Parents Need to Know
Head lice are a common part of childhood, and we want to provide you with helpful information for prevention and treatment.
Preventing Head Lice
- Teach children not to share hats, combs, brushes, scarves, or hair accessories.
- Regularly check your child's hair, especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck, for lice or nits (eggs). A fine-toothed comb is recommended.
- Keep long hair tied back in ponytails or braids.
What to Do If Your Child Has Lice
- Remain calm; lice are treatable.
- Consult your doctor or pharmacist for appropriate treatment and follow their instructions carefully.
- Use a fine-toothed nit comb to remove lice and nits after treatment.
- Wash recently worn clothing, bedding, and hats in hot water and dry them on high heat.
- Notify the school nurse to help prevent further spread.
If you have questions, please contact us at 703-914-7300.
Sincerely With Warmest Regards,
Keesha Jackson-Muir, Principal
