What is the first step in getting assistance?
There is a form that may be completed by any school person or parent. Those forms are located in a folder in the Staff Room along with the other commonly-used forms. The folder is labeled "Lice." (The same folder also contains some other information about lice that may be helpful in certain circumstances.) Give me a copy of the form. I will forward it to Mrs. Ludwig, our nurse. The family would take the completed form to the address on the form. No appointment is necessary.
