Dear Parents:
8 cases of head lice has been detected at FRMS. The lice has been contained to mostly one social group. FRMS staff has checked every student in that social group and any other students who would like to be check. Head lice is mainly spread through direct head-to-head contact but also from sharing hats, brushes and other personal items. Head lice is a problem in many communities and do not reflect poor hygiene or social status. Please help do your part to prevent the spread of this communicable condition by checking your child(ren) daily for the next few weeks, and on a regular basis thereafter. Lice infestation is much easier to treat if caught early.
If you should discover a case of head lice, please notify FRMS. Notify the parents of your child’s playmates.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.
