Dear Parents and Guardians,
The York Catholic District School Board understands that head lice can be a concern for students and families. While head lice do not cause illness or pose a public health risk, they can be uncomfortable and spread easily.
To help prevent pediculosis (head lice) from becoming a problem at our school, we all need to work together:
Please check your child’s head on a regular basis for lice or nits.
If lice or nits are found, treatment should begin promptly, and students may continue attending school during treatment.
Please notify the Principal or designate once treatment has started to help us monitor and reduce further spread.
Working together helps keep our school community healthy and informed.
Thank you for your continued support.

Yours in Catholic Education,
Ms. Rodrigues
Principal, Sir Richard W. Scott
