Thanks all! Those were my thoughts too. I feel like they expect me to do some magic spells and get rid of everything. I don't want parents to worry over this if I sent letters home, I have other...
Before our spring break I had 2 students (sisters) have ringworm. I spoke with their mom and she had been treating them and it was being covered up here at school. Now we are back from our 2 week...
