Nits Outbreak - 2.11.09 - 02-11-2009
There has been a fresh case of the dastardly nits! Please support us in our ongoing battle:
• Girls should have their hair tied back or plaited if at all possible. Margaret is stocking hair bands, scrunchies, etc., in the uniform shop.
• Boys’ hair should be kept short.
• Check your child’s hair regularly. Should they be infected treat immediately – conditioner and a nit comb remain as effective as anything.
• Inform the school so we can warn other families.
Together I am sure we can enjoy a school of clean heads.
