Head Lice. The Diocese has a “No-Nit” policy. Even after treatment with a prescription or over- the-counter shampoo, “nits” or eggs can remain. Once the child is free from nits please stop by the clinic and we will check your child before a return to class. IMMUNIZATIONS Texas Law requires everyone under 18 to be immunized. No student may attend classes at Xxxxxx the Xxxx Catholic School without immunization records. The Diocese adheres to State laws regarding immunization in order to prevent communicable diseases, and must file annual reports of such compliance. (All schools are responsible for keeping accurate, up-to-date records, which may be inspected by state agents.) Students who are not in compliance with the required immunizations cannot attend school until the requirements are met. All immunization records (including the month, day, and year) must be on file and meet the State requirements before the student may attend school. Records must be on file prior to the first day of school in the fall, and updated when the child receives any further immunizations. Parent(s) will be called to pick-up the child(ren) if proof of immunizations are not supplied to the nurse. All new students must provide the immunization records by photocopying the child's health record from the child's primary physician. To update your child's records for the school, please provide a new copy of the immunization record from your primary physician. This is true for both new students, and those returning in the fall. All records must be validated by a physician's signature. The Texas Department of State Health Services has established these minimum immunization requirements: • Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis containing vaccine, ages 3 and 4: 4 doses • Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis containing vaccine, Kindergarten entry: 5 doses, one dose on or after 4th birthday • Students 7 years and older are required to have 3 doses of a tetanus/diphtheria- containing vaccine. • Entry, grade 7 – is required to have one booster of tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis containing vaccine, if at least 5 years have passed since the last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine or when the 5 year interval has lapsed. • Entry, grades 8 – 12, one dose Tdap booster when 10 years have passed since the last dose. • Hepatitus A, 2 doses required for children in PK and Kindergarten (1st doses after age 1) • Hepatitis B, 3 doses required for all students, PK 3, 4, and grades K – 12 • HibCV, minimum 1 dose required for children you...

Head Lice. If a child has contracted head lice, the parent is notified as soon as possible. The child shall not return to the center until he/she has been treated with a lice shampoo or lice cure kit. Each Teacher who discovers head lice in their center should immediately notify the Health Staff. All household members who are infested must be treated. All clothing and bedding used by members of the household who were infested must be laundered in hot water, dry cleaned or dried in the dryer on high heat (pillows included). All xxxxx, brushes and hair bows must be washed in hot water. Carpets, mattresses, upholstery and car seats must be vac- uumed and cleaned thoroughly. Any infested family member must receive a second treatment. Any child who becomes infested again should be treated as before using the same procedures. If this continues to occur, the child must be taken to the doctor because continued use of pesticides can cause adverse reactions. Before the child may enter the center again, a staff person will carefully examine the hair for lice. Teaching Staff must remove all bedding and soft/cozy materials from the classroom and make sure it is laundered. CARE OF SICK CHILD A child with an infectious or contagious illness must not attend the classroom until the illness has run its course. Teaching Staff will refuse to admit any child to the center that is suspected of having an infectious or contagious illness and/or fever. Teaching Staff will notify the bus monitor (if transportation is provided) of any child who has been sent home that should not return the next day. The bus will not pick up the child on the following day. Any child who becomes ill at the center and is suspected of having an infectious or contagious illness, including symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting or fever of 100 degrees or more shall be separated from the other children and placed in the sick ar- ea. The parent/guardian must be notified to come pick up their child immediately. The child will be made as comfortable as possible until they leave the center. The Teacher will complete the Child Symptom Record Form and parents or other authorized person should sign the form prior to departure.

Head Lice. Unfortunately, head lice can happen to anyone. Head lice can be easily transmitted from person to person. Please check your child’s hair periodically for scratch marks or a rash on the scalp and most importantly look for nits (eggs) attached to individual hairs. Unlike dandruff, they are very difficult to remove. If your child is found to have lice, keep him/her at home until a lice treatment shampoo is used and ALL nits have been removed. The child must be rechecked in the office before readmittance to the classroom. The district has a “NO NIT” policy. Students must be nit-free before they can ride the bus or attend school. Further guidelines for treating head lice are available from the health department.
Head Lice. Head lice, although not an illness or a disease, is very common among children and is spread very easily through head-to-head contact during play, sports, or nap time and when children share things like brushes, xxxxx, hats, and headphones. If careful observation indicates that a student has head lice, the school nurse will contact the student’s parent to determine whether the child will need to be picked up from school to discuss a plan for treatment with an FDA-approved medicated shampoo or cream rinse that may be purchased from any drug or grocery store. After the student has undergone one treatment, the parent should check in with the school nurse to discuss the treatment used. The nurse can also offer additional recommendations, including subsequent treatments and how best to get rid of lice and prevent their return. More information on head lice can be obtained from the TDSHS Web site at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx/schoolhealth/lice.shtm. Parent’s Note after an Absence When a student must be absent from school, the student--upon returning to school--must bring a note, signed by the parent that describes the reason for the absence. A note signed by the student, even with the parent’s permission, will not be accepted. Doctor’s Note after an Absence Upon returning to school, a student absent because of a personal illness must bring a statement from the doctor or a health clinic verifying the illness or condition that caused the student’s extended absence from school. Physical Activity for Students in Junior High Grades In accordance with XXXX, EHAC, and FFA, the district will ensure that students in middle or junior high school will engage in 30 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity per day for at least four semesters OR at least 225 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity within each two-week period for at least four semesters. For additional information on the district’s requirements and programs regarding elementary, middle, and junior high school student physical activity requirements, please see the principal. School Health Advisory Council During the preceding school year, the district’s School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) held meetings to discuss the health concerns and programs offered at Sudan ISD. Additional information regarding the SHAC is available from the principal. [See policies BDF and EHAA.] The duties of the SHAC range from recommending curriculum to developing strategies for integrating curriculum into a coord...
Head Lice. All Wakulla County Schools have a no nit/lice procedure. Head checks are conducted periodically as requested by the teachers. Students sent home with head lice must be brought back to school by an adult and be cleared in the clinic before returning to the classroom or riding the school bus. All prescription medications will be hand delivered to the clinic by the parent/guardian with the following information on the label:
Head Lice. It is not uncommon for there to be outbreaks of head lice amongst children at primary school, but with your support we can try to reduce them. However, this is not possible unless we have the support of all parents/carers. When we become aware that a child has head lice, you will receive a letter via ‘parent mail’ or, if you are not signed up for it, a copy will go in your child’s book bag advising you of the situation and asking you to check your child’s hair and treat it. You will also need to check and, if necessary, treat all other children in your family. It is important to note that eggs can take up to 3 days to hatch, so whilst you may not see head lice in their hair on the first inspection, you should continue to check for several days to ensure that none appear. • If you find that your child has head lice, please ensure that all living lice are removed from their hair before returning them to school. If you do not wish to use commercially available products or have none to hand, conditioner is a very effective alternative. Put a substantial amount of conditioner on to damp hair and comb through with a nit comb to remove lice and eggs.
