--- title: "Head Lice" url: "https://www.st-michaels-inf.hants.sch.uk/information-for-parents/childrens-health/head-lice" school: "St Michael's Infant School" --- # Head Lice Following advice from School Health, we don't routinely send out letters about head lice in school as they aren't effective. The best advice is to check your child's hair weekly for signs of eggs or live lice. If you suspect that lice may be present, please see the following guidance from School Health which explains about wet combing. Regular treatment may be necessary to prevent lice coming back.
