It is important for the welfare of the whole student body to be diligent when it comes to head lice.
In the event your child has head lice, please report it immediately to their school office. The school will then notify the Health Aide. In order for the student to return to school, they must have a signed release from the Health Aide. You should obtain this by taking your child to the Board of Education, 639 Oak Street, Wyandotte, between 7:30 - 8:30am, in session school days. The Health Aide will perform another check in 10 days to ensure there are no further live lice. You may also leave a message at (734) 759-6025 if the Health Aide is unavailable.
