A case of head lice was recently reported at Westview.  Head lice are spread by direct head to head contact, and easy to catch.  Please check your child’s hair for lice and eggs and treat them if needed.  Head lice are no reflection on a person’s state of cleanliness.  Anyone can get head lice.

For those who need assistance with the cost of treatment, the City of Hamilton offers two Bug Busters clinics; the link is provided below.
