Hello families,
Head lice has been identified at Porters Lake Elementary. Head lice and nits commonly occur in students of this age. While our staff will be vigilant in watching for new cases, please do your part to prevent the spread of this communicable condition by checking your child(ren) daily for the next few weeks and on a regular basis thereafter.
Coordinating efforts between school and home significantly reduces the frequency of lice and nit occurrences and we thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
Please review the attached information from Nova Scotia Public Health regarding the prevention and treatment of head lice.
Contact me at jfry@hrce.ca or 902-827-2525 if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Take are,
John Fry
Principal
Porters Lake Elementary
