Lice Central. My kids are friend's from some kids from this school. Every once in awhile I give the kids another chance to hangout with my children but have to return them ASAP. I tried calling the school Nurse about the situation but, no luck with that. They didn't even call me back when I left a message. The kids said they keep getting the lice from there school. Even the Middle School is infested. I'm not sure about the High School yet. My next step will be taking legal actions to help these kids not to suffer anymore. I'll review again once the matter is dealt with.

The school is a great smaller school that cares about the students and learning. They have some of the best teachers, and they work well individually with the students. They keep parents informed.
