Advanced Placement AP Courses & Weston High School

By

High school AP courses are not the classes that make a student stand out like they did in the past to colleges. Whether it is the most accurate measure or not, magazines factor in AP classes all the time in determining their list of top public high schools. In fact Boston Magazine rated Weston High School in Weston, MA first in its list of the state’s top public high schools.

How to Treat Lice

By

There are 2 steps for treating lice. Chemical treatment with the use of a medicated shampoo is the first step. When using this special chemical laden shampoo, do not apply it in bathtub or shower. Apply over sink to minimize the exposure of the chemical to the rest of the body.

The second step for treating lice is manual removal. For this you will need a fine tooth metal comb specially designed for lice removal. Comb out hair removing all tangles and debris. Work on one section of the hair at a time and comb each section away from scalp. Clean off the comb after each stroke to remove any caught lice or eggs. Repeat this technique throughout the head carefully inspecting the hair. Remove nits with fingernails or safety scissors if nits remain after several attempts with the comb.

Head Lice and School

By

Head lice can be a common problem in children. Lice can be transmitted to others easily so proper treatment is essential. We all want to avoid getting lice. However what do you do if your child’s head starts to feel itchy? Any student suspected of having head lice should go to the nurse’s office for a hair inspection at school or to a doctor’s office immediately.

The goal is to identify and eliminate head lice and nits as quickly as possible to minimize interruption of classroom time. Any student found to have evidence of head lice must be excluded from school until proper treatment for lice has been completed. This is for the safety of the rest of the school.

If your student has head lice the following steps need to be taken:

1. Siblings and parents must be head checked to see if they have lice also.

2. Tell the school so a notice can be sent out to the affected classrooms as soon as possible. This will allow for proper cleaning and the head checks of classmates if the school deems it appropriate.
