Lice and Nits

Upon discovering the presence of live lice or louse eggs, the school will notify the student’s parent(s) or guardian(s).  The student will be isolated from contact with other students and their belongings, and a parent or guardian must pick the child up from school immediately.

By Nebraska DHHS regulation, students are not permitted to return to school until the student is treated such that no live lice or louse eggs can be detected.  The parent(s) or guardian(s) will be required to treat the student and accompany the student to school to be examined.  The student cannot ride the school bus until the district has cleared the student to return to school.
