No PTO meeting in
December!
The next PTO meeting will
be January 8th at 6:00 PM
Please send a note in the morning with your child each day if they
have a change in the transportation plan for the end of the day.
With 238 students in our school, it is very difficult and disturbing to classes to deliver personal messages at the end of the day. Please make after school plans, transportation decisions, visits to a friend’s house, etc. ahead of time. The end of the day gets very busy. Emergency situations are different. We will do our best to be of service to you in an emergency.
Thank you for your help. Parents-
Just a reminder, volunteer opportunities will be posted online throughout the year. You must sign up online and not with the
teaching staff.
If you already have a volunteer account, log in at myvolunteerpage.com, select the opportunity you are interested in and sign up.
(If it is full/locked, you have the option of being put on a back up list.)
If you haven't created an account yet, visit tiny.cc/WSDONE and click the “For Volunteers” tab on the left.
Complete Step 1 and Step 2 (Step 2, if the opportunity requires a criminal background check)
Remember, volunteering in the classroom and going on field trips requires a criminal background check. They do
take time to process so please PLAN AHEAD.
For questions or to learn more contact Roxane Hagedorn, [email protected] (preferred) or

WHAT ARE HEAD LICE? Head lice are tiny, wingless, gray-brown insects that live in the human hair. Lice hatch from small eggs, called nits, which attach very firmly to the hair. Nits appear as flecks of dandruff, but unlike dandruff, they cannot be flicked out of the hair. Once a louse lays eggs in a child's hair, the eggs hatch in about 7-12 days. The new lice reach maturity in 8-9 days. With close inspection, the live lice and/or the nits may be observed. Itching and scratching of the scalp and the nape of the neck are usually the first evidence of a head lice infestation. By the time lice are discovered on a person’s head, they have probably been there for 4-6 weeks. HOW ARE HEAD LICE SPREAD? Lice move by crawling, not flying or jumping. They typically crawl from one head to another through direct and extended contact. Children can be exposed to lice in many places. Direct head-to-head contact is almost always necessary for the spread of lice to happen. Play dates, slumber parties, Scouts and the sharing of hats, hair brushes, hair bows, and towels are all common ways lice may be spread. Head lice are not likely to be spread in the school environment or by the sharing of headphones and helmets. HOW ARE HEAD LICE TREATED? Regular shampoo will not kill head lice or the nits. A treatment plan involves use of a special medicated shampoo for lice, removal of nits, cleaning of the environment, and careful monitoring. All family members and close contacts should be checked. Treatment is recommended ONLY for those individuals with live lice and/or nits found close to the scalp. Treatment does not prevent lice; it only kills live lice. It is very important to closely follow the manufacturer’s instructions. It is important to note that treatment with a medicated shampoo does not kill nits. Nits need to be combed out of hair before they hatch. Contact your Health Care Provider before treating children under the age of 2 years. The following steps are recommended: 1) Check your child's head regularly. 2) If live lice or nits are found within ¼ inch of the scalp, treat with medicated shampoo, 3) Remove nits from your child’s hair, 4) Follow recommended household cleaning. 5) Re-treat in 7-10 days. 6) Continue to check your child on a regular basis. If you think your child has head lice or if you have any questions, please contact your health care provider or school nurse.
