We have been informed of an outbreak of head lice in the public schools on Bainbridge Island. It was reported today that a Carden Country School student has been infected with lice and has subsequently been treated. We ask that all parents perform a thorough examination of your child’s scalp daily over the next two weeks. If lice or nits are discovered on your child’s scalp, we ask that you treat them immediately and notify the school. If lice or nits are observed while at school, parents will be asked to pick up their child and begin treatment immediately.
Please be reminded that random lice checks are performed during the school year. This is a great opportunity to educate your student(s) on lice. I have attached several websites for your perusal.
Please know that we will do all we can to protect the privacy of you and your child.
