"Oh, honey, another note from the school nurse," you sigh. "What is it this time, a vaccine shot, toothache, ear infection? What on earth could be wrong with you now! . . . Will you please sit down, honey, and stop that scratching!"
You open the tightly sealed envelope and read:
Dear parent/Guardian:
Upon inspecting your child's head today it was discovered that he/she has a lice infestation. It is necessary to exclude him/her from school until adequately treated.
YOUR CHILD MAY RETURN TO SCHOOL AFTER SHE/HE HAS BEEN TREATED.
Sincerely,
Principal & School Nurse
