[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just learned that there are parent volunteers who do lice checks at our school at the beginning of the school year.  I would prefer for my child not to be evaluated by a non-licensed / trained professional.

Does anyone know the process for either - allowing this or opting out?  Nothing was sent home from the school to inform me that it was happening.

Then take your children to be inspected by a "trained professional" and then send in a note with the date of the inspection stating that you don't want your children checked. I am a little lost as to why you're objecting to this, though. I'm sure it's going to be supervised, it doesn't involve the removal of clothing, and they'll only be touching your child's hair/head. Maybe it's a fear that if your child has lice, the parents will gossip about it, but if you opt out and then there's lice in your class, everyone will assume your unchecked child was the source and gossip about you anyway.[/quote]
