Scabies

Curious to know what you all would do....

I have 1 confirmed case on one of my campuses. My DSHS transferred me over to a local Net Health department who stated there wasn't really anything to do except exclude for 24 hours after starting treatment. They did say, if we wanted to, we could approach it like lice and notify parents via letters home, but that there isn't any legislation on scabies.

SO. What would you do? I personally don't think sending letters home would be beneficial as I feel it would just cause more problems than it would help. But I'm also open to any suggestions :) Also, we don't have a specific scabies policy, so no guidance on that end. Just trying to see what you lovely peeps do.

P.S.

I'm in Texas.

    Thanks guys!! I'm glad we're all pretty much in agreement on the letter idea. I guess I just wanted some virtual support if this particular campus decided they wanted to send letters home! So far so good though!!
