[quote=Anonymous]This year lice is worse than it was last year at my child's school - not MV. General experience with lice outbreak is: Child is identified. The child can not return until they are nit free. The school will not share who has it - that is a violation of privacy information - Similar to how they do not share who has strep when they send home those notices. Other schools have parent lice checkers - who check every child each morning to limit the outbreak. So - what can you do as a parent? Help the school make sure that nap items are stored in a way that lice will not move across sheets. Are there rugs, chairs that the children lay down on? Over the weekend any nits should die b/c they need to have a source of blood in 48 hours or will die. So 1st thing tomorrow - vacume all the dead nits in the rugs / chairs etc. You can spray your child's hair with a conditioner that deters lice. I am not sure if it really works - but something you can try.[/quote]
