What needs to happen for the school?

Live lice (see image) need to be removed from hair and one treatment with nit shampoo needs to happen (which can be bought at Ulrichs). Students are able to return to school with eggs still visible in hair, but not with live lice. A generic letter will be sent out to the families in your students’ class alerting them to possible exposure. The lice-case identity will remain anonymous.
