- I am sad to say this School does not inform other parents that a child in their class has been Confirmed with FULL BLOWN HEAD LICE.If the school would do this to ALL classes because class rooms are not the only place the kids come in contact with each other-How about the Bus,the Cafeteria and oh yes the gym time outside. Why do I know this because I am the Grandmother who wants the parents to know that my Grandchildren were cleared over 3 times and if the rest of the parents were informed just maybe your child will not have to go through what mine did!
