Lice Information

Sometimes lice happens- especially with elementary-aged children. Lice are tiny, wingless, insects that feed on blood. Lice are easily spread through close personal contact and by sharing belongings. People can have good personal hygiene and still get lice. Unless treated properly, this condition can become a recurring problem. The Fairfax County Health Department and Fairfax County Public Schools have information on dealing with lice if your child comes across it this year, please utilize the links below to access this information.
