• LICE
    The South Lewis Board of Education recognizes the concern of lice or nit (lice egg) infestation and its relationship to the health and education of our students.  Because of this, it is the policy of the South Lewis Board of Education that: upon report of the possibility of lice or nits infestation, the school nurse will inspect the individual to confirm the presence of lice or nit.  If infestation is confirmed, the student’s parent/guardian will be notified to pick up their child.  All students that are found to have lice or nits will be sent home.  The parent/guardian is expected to treat the student and remove all nits from the student.  The parent/guardian will accompany the student upon return to school.  The school nurse will inspect the student.  If there are live lice or nits present, the parent/guardian will take the student home for further treatment.
