Hi Cozy Lake Families,
It is not unusual after Halloween (with all the fancy hair dos, wigs and comb-sharing) to get a few random reports of lice. I was, therefore, not surprised to have a couple new cases of lice reported to me by parents on Monday. Rest assured, the students were effectively treated and lice-free prior to returning to school.
I am alerting you to remind you to stay vigilant. Continue to check your child's hair, especially if they report symptoms of itching. Please encouraged your girls with long hair to try to keep it pull back or up as often as possible and lastly, please remind your children of the importance of avoiding direct head-to-head contact.
I did check all students at risk here at Cozy and did NOT find any new cases of lice. I will continue to follow up bi-weekly (or more frequently as needed) to assess for lice. In addition, I will continue to provide on-going lice prevention teaching to the students.
We, thankfully, are having a good "lice" year, but I do believe it is important to keep you all updated. Thank you for all you do at home to reinforce our teaching here at school.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns at (973) 697-4777 ext. 5535.
