Head LiceStudents diagnosed with live head lice do not need to be sent home early from school; they can go home at the end of the day, be treated, and return to class after appropriate treatment has begun.
The burden of unnecessary absenteeism to the students, families and community far outweighs the risks associated with head lice.

Ringworm/TineaStudents with ringworm do not need to be sent home early from school; they can go home at the end of the day, be treated and return to class after appropriate treatment has begun.
Ringworm can be treated with over the counter fungal creams for approximately one week. Check with your family doctor for treatment options.
