Nit Notification

Date_________________

Dear Parent(s) or Guardian,

Today while doing head checks at school, your child _________ was found to have nits (lice eggs). If you have recently treated your child for head lice, please note that the products on the market do not always kill all the nits. If these nits survive, they will hatch and your child will have a new infestation of head lice within a few weeks. The key to ridding your child and your home of lice is to remove all the nits (lice eggs) after treatment.

If you have not recently treated your child for head lice, you may want to consider doing so if you find any live bugs.

I understand that this is a difficult cycle to break and if I can be of any assistance to you and your family please contact me at 596-2775.

Sincerely,

Jan Henley, RN
