"I have checked my child's head and: -there are no headlice -I have treated him/her."
The note that comes home is hilarious. "It has come to our attention that a case of headlice has been detected in our school [surely not!]. While not a cause for serious alarm [!], action must be taken..."
We only get a notice if there's a kid with headlice in the same class as one of our kids. Just a notification that it's there. We never have to sign to say we've checked or anything. The boys' hair is pretty short, we've only had to deal with it a couple of times here. But I suspect it will be a different story in future now we have a little girl....
The notice/'action at home' form is what Queensland Health recommends as part of 'Management of Head lice in Primary school'. It is up to the school principal to decide if it goes home to just the class affected or the whole school.
Taking advantage of their strengths...I like it...
ReplyDeleteA slippery slope..
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get him to sign my name. Would be helpful for the 50 permission forms (and headlice notices) that come home from school each week...
ReplyDeleteWhat is there to sign on a headlice notice?

My daughter can sign my name. I found a piece of paper where she had been practising.
ReplyDeleteYou get a note when there is ONE case of headlice in the SCHOOL?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what warrents a note being sent out to the whole school. But we certainly get a lot of them.
