grade school grossness

parents of grade school kids barely blink when these messages arrive in their email inbox.
{well first time parents might be shocked} but seasoned parents understand this happens.


Hello Families,

We have several cases of lice reported in Room 14.
Please check your child's hair daily for nits (head lice eggs) and lice.
Please note that sometimes the only way you can identify that your child
has nits or lice is to comb through your child's hair with a nit and lice removing comb.
You can find this type of comb at the drug store.  

if you see any evidence of nits or lice in your child's hair,
please do NOT send your child to school.
All nits and head lice must be removed from your child's hair
BEFORE he/she may return to school so we can stop the
current outbreak of lice in our classrooms.     
Please take a few minutes to view the following video that provides detailed
instructions on how to identify and remove nits and lice:

 
Thank you very much for being diligent in
checking your child's hair for nits and lice.
  


~ oh life with grade school kids - it's SO fun.  *grin*
we were lucky this time around - we are all in the clear. 
two years ago, we weren't so lucky.


though it was just finn that got them, the whole family
was treated and i spent a full day washing.
as my s-i-l pointed out, at least we don't have girls.
with all the hair on my head, i can't imagine the work it would
take to get through my daughter's hair. {scout's hair is thick enough} whew!
kudos to my mom who raised 5 girls and went through this many times i'm sure.
{according to this article, they are a more common in girls}
