    Chronic Head Lice

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to Purple036's topic in School

    In my area CPS could care less about lice. My suggestion is that you find a resource that could possibly pay for the family to go to a lice salon. Do you all have those in your area? The salon will...

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    SandIsMyGlitterRN replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    Our district sends out a form to complete that states whether you are returning the following year. IMO I would give them a heads up around April or May. That way if they hire someone you can have...
