We would like to remind all families to regularly check their children for head lice as a precautionary measure. Head lice are common in school settings, and early detection can help prevent the spread and ensure a quick resolution if needed.
If you discover head lice, please treat your child promptly. Alberta Health Services provides helpful resources on how to identify, treat, and prevent head lice, which you can find at the following link: How to Treat Head Lice - Alberta Health Services.
Some prevention tips include:
Regularly checking your child’s hair, particularly behind the ears and at the base of the neck.
Encouraging children not to share items like hats, brushes, or hair accessories.
Washing hair regularly and keeping long hair tied back.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
