Head Lice

Grampian Healthcare Trust has a new fact sheet for dealing with Head Lice, please collect one from the school office.

It is possible for anyone to pick up Head Lice if the conditions are right. If this happens to a member of your family, remember that head-lice prefer clean hair.

Basically there are 5 simple things to do:

1.	Check all members of your family and recent contacts

2.	Treat the hair of any member of your family who has the infection

3.	If you need more advice than is contained in the fact sheet, you should make an appointment with the school nurse or doctor.

4.	Inform the school office if your child has an infection of head lice.

5.	Groom and check your child’s hair every day.

Medicines in school

Any child requiring a prescribed medicine during the day will normally be kept at home. In exceptional circumstances if a child does need medication at lunchtime, the parent should fill in the permission forms which can be obtained at the school office. No medicines can be supervised without the forms being returned to school. These rules are made for the safety of your child and other children in school.

N.B. Medicines given three times daily should be given before school, after school and at night.

Asthma Inhalers

Inhalers (not the box) should be clearly labelled with the child’s name and instruction as to its use and given to the class teacher. Children will always have easy access to their inhalers.
