Lice are tiny, wingless insects that feed on human blood. Lice spread from person to person through close contact and by sharing belongings. Head lice are found on the scalp. They're easiest to see at the nape of the neck and over the ears. If your child has lice, or if you think they have lice, please keep them home and contact the Health Aid at your school.
