Remember that head lice is not a disease. Lice are a nuisance and require attention and diligence to rid them from the individual's head and from your home.

• Anyone can get head lice.
• The majority of cases of head lice are not transmitted at school.
• Lice are transmitted through direct contact with the hair of an infested person or through the sharing of personal items such as a hairbrush, combs, helmet, hat or pillows.
• It is important to contact all individuals your child has been in close contact with, if your child becomes infested with lice.
