Policy 210: Pediculosis

The YCDSB recognizes concerns related to head lice. To prevent head lice from becoming a problem at our school we need to all work together. Please check your child’s head on a regular basis fornits or lice. If you do find lice or nits, YOU MUST CONTACT THE OFFICE so we can notify parents in your child’s class to monitor the situation. A student’s readmission to school is contingent upon the Parent/Guardiansubmitting a completed ” Pediculosis Treatment Form” communicating tot he Principal that treatment for head lice has been administered. Policy 210 has been updated to reflect the implementation of the NEW board practices and procedures The procedures contain a series of new appendices.

Please visit the board website for further information or the Canadian Pediatric Society.
