Sometimes during the school year we will see a few cases of lice pop up. This happens from time to time. Please remember, DO NOT PANIC. Lice are a nuisance and the process of treatment can be stressful, but they do not spread disease and are not easily commuicable in the school setting. I will do all that I can to guide you through the treatment process. Please keep in mind that retreatment and diligence may be necessary.
