Quotes

“I think that it is not exaggerated to say that no other educational system in the world gives such a central role to the arts as the Waldorf School Movement. There is not a subject taught that does not have an artistic aspect. Even mathematics is presented in an artistic fashion and related via dance, movement or drawing to the child as a whole. Steiner’s system of education is built on the premise that art is an integral part of human endeavors. He gives it back its true role. Anything that can be done to further his revolutionary educational ideals will be of the greatest importance.”

Lice Are Not Nice!!10 January 2008

Lice are not nice and dealing with an infestation is no fun for anyone. Several cases of head lice have been found in the lower grades. Head lice infestation is common among children from 3-12 years of age. Lice are not a health hazard or a sign of uncleanliness and are not responsible for the spread of any disease. Head lice cannot live without a human host. They cannot survive on family pets.

If lice or nits are found on your student while at school, you can expect to be called to pick up your student immediately as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of new cases. When a case of lice has been identified, a notification letter will be given out to the class involved so that other parents in the class can appropriately monitor their children and a head check will be conducted on allstudents in the class. Before a student can return to school it must be verified that all nits (eggs) have been removed. School personnel will perform a head check; if your student has been sent home with lice, please have your student stop by the main office to be checked before proceeding to class.

A variety of products are available at your local drugstore to help. Information regarding over the counter products is available at pharmacies; some information is also available in the office. Whatever treatment you choose, please be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Choose an effective treatment, use as directed and perform the steps listed above to eliminate head lice from your home and prevent their spread in the school community.

We appreciate your cooperation and support!
