Dear Parents
HEADLICE – PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD’S HAIR
Once again, we are receiving information from a number of families that their children
have been affected by head lice. We are always grateful when parents keep us
informed about this problem because it does help others to take the right action to
avoid similar difficulties.
As you may already be aware, head lice and their eggs actually prefer clean hair but,
because they are transmitted by contact, children with long hair are often more
vulnerable. Parents would be well advised to check their child’s hair thoroughly, as
soon as possible. WE ARE ADVISING ALL PARENTS TO CHECK THEIR CHILDREN’S
HAIR IMMEDIATELY. If you are unsure, check with the MRS for any advice
regarding treatment.
It would also be very helpful if children with long hair could wear it tied up neatly
rather than flowing, so that they will be less likely to catch or transmit head lice. If
you require further information, please arrange to see the nurse at the MRS.
Yours sincerely
Class Teacher
