Our 1st Lice Check of the school year is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 26 at Carroll Street.  Parent volunteers are needed to help with paperwork and helping children to and from the checks — you will NOT be checking for lice!  Please sign up on Konstella if you can help for a few hours.

Having lice is in NO WAY a reflection of cleanliness of the home, but getting rid of them does require a concerted effort on the part of our whole community.  These proactive checks help us stop outbreaks as soon as possible.  The cost of the screenings is covered by the PTA.

If your child is found to have lice, you will receive a call for immediate pick up. If your child is found to have nits, a letter will be sent with your child at the end of the day. Children found with lice and nits will be rechecked on Friday, Sept. 27.

If you DO NOT want your child(ren) checked for lice, please email president@ps372pta.org and copy Yvette Agas-Bautz at YAgasBautz@schools.nyc.gov

Thank you!

DOE Information regarding lice:

Here’s a step by step pictorial on how to do a lice comb out. Note that using thick, white conditioner such as Pantene can help capture the critters. Please remain vigilant in checking your children.
