Headlice 

Many families are finding headlice in their childs hair, you can help eradicate lice by regurlarly checking and treating your child's hair. 

There are so many treatments on the market, the most effective way of treating your child's hair is with a headlice solution and metal nit comb, and comb comb comb! then repeat the process 3 days later, then 7 days later then again 14 days later, check and if they are gone stop.  If not treat again and comb comb comb! 

We understand it is frustrating, please remember to wash bedding, comforters, hair brushes/combs/ribbons/hair ties etc and also treat your whole family. 

 

Spare clothes

With the wet weather and works going on at school there is a lot of mud.  Children who become wet/dirty and do not have a spare set of clothes will have their parent/guardian contacted to bring down more clothes or take them home to shower.
