Head Lice. If a student is found to have nits, parents will be notified to pick up their child at that time. The student will not be allowed to return to school until the Principal or designee has determined that the student is “nit free”. Notification will be sent to all students in the affected grade(s).

Head Lice. The Diocese has a “No-Nit” policy. Even after treatment with a prescription or over- the-counter shampoo, “nits” or eggs can remain. Once the child is free from nits please stop by the clinic and we will check your child before a return to class. The Diocese adheres to State laws regarding immunization in order to prevent communicable diseases, and must file annual reports of such compliance. (All schools are responsible for keeping accurate, up-to-date records, which may be inspected by state agents.) Students who are not in compliance with the required immunizations cannot attend school until the requirements are met. All immunization records (including the month, day, and year) must be on file and meet the State requirements before the student may attend school. Records must be on file prior to the first day of school in the fall, and updated when the child receives any further immunizations. Parent(s) will be called to pick-up the child(ren) if proof of immunizations are not supplied to the nurse. All new students must provide the immunization records by photocopying the child's health record from the child's primary physician. To update your child's records for the school, please provide a new copy of the immunization record from your primary physician. This is true for both new students, and those returning in the fall. The Texas Department of State Health Services has established these minimum immunization requirements: • Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis containing vaccine, ages 3 and 4: 4 doses • Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis containing vaccine, Kindergarten entry: 5 doses, one dose on or after 4th birthday • Students 7 years and older are required to have 3 doses of a tetanus/diphtheria- containing vaccine. • Entry, grade 7 – is required to have one booster of tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis containing vaccine, if at least 5 years have passed since the last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine or when the 5 year interval has lapsed. • Entry, grades 8 – 12, one dose Tdap booster when 10 years have passed since the last dose. • Hepatitus A, 2 doses required for children in PK and Kindergarten (1st doses after age 1) • Hepatitis B, 3 doses required for all students, PK 3, 4, and grades K – 12 • HibCV, minimum 1 dose required for children younger than 5 years, after age 1 • Meningococcal, 1 dose for students for entry into 7th grade • MMR required for ages 3 and 4 years: 1st dose after age 1 • MMR – 2 doses for Kindergarten, (1st dose after age 1) • MMR/M – g...

Head Lice. If your child is persistently scratching their head, examine their hair and scalp for lice and nits (small white eggs). If found, your child must be treated with an OTC lice treatment or a prescription treatment. Please advise the school nurse if lice have been found so that appropriate measures can be taken to prevent spread and re–infestation. A student who has had head lice may return to school when live lice are no longer present. Mater Christi does not require COVID-19 testing. If a student is feeling unwell, they should remain home until they are fever free for 24 hours, symptoms have improved and they are feeling well enough to actively participate in the school day. If you choose to test for COVID-19, the same protocol for returning to school should be used regardless of the test rest. If a student has come into contact with someone who has COVID-19, they are not required to test. If a student has come into contact with someone who has COVID-19, they are not required to stay home from school unless they have symptoms of illness that require them to miss school. Mater Christi School provides an allergen safe and supportive school environment through appropriate accommodations, ensuring that each student is provided every opportunity to participate fully in all school programs and activities. An allergen safe environment is an environment in which reasonable precautions have been identified and undertaken to minimize exposure to identified allergens. It does not mean an environment guaranteed to be free of the allergen. The Individualized Health Plan (IHP) is created by the registered nurse in cooperation with the healthcare provider and the parent/guardian. The purpose of the IHP is to provide clear and simple instructions to faculty and staff in supervision of the student in order to keep the student safe until appropriate medical assistance arrives. Part of the IHP requires the parent to provide a note from a medical provider indicating the allergies and relative management. Mater Christi School recognizes and acknowledges it is impossible to completely avoid or control the introduction of allergens into our school environment. Emphasis is placed on reducing a child’s risk of exposure to allergens, planning individualized support and accommodations and having an appropriate response plan in the event of an exposure to the allergen. The safety of students with medically documented life threatening allergies or dietary conditions at Mater Christi Sc...

Head Lice. It is not uncommon for there to be outbreaks of head lice amongst children at primary school, but with your support we can try to reduce them. However, this is not possible unless we have the support of all parents/carers. When we become aware that a child has head lice, you will receive a letter via e-mail or, if you are not signed up to receive e-mails, a copy will go in your child’s book bag advising you of the situation and asking you to check your child’s hair and treat it. You will also need to check and, if necessary, treat all other children in your family. It is important to note that eggs can take up to 3 days to hatch, so whilst you may not see head lice in their hair on the first inspection, you should continue to check for several days to ensure that none appear. • If you find that your child has head lice, please ensure that all living lice are removed from their hair before returning them to school. If you do not wish to use commercially available products or have none to hand, conditioner is a very effective alternative. Put a substantial amount of conditioner on to damp hair and comb through with a nit comb to remove lice and eggs.

Just a note: Parents may not stop to think that when sick children are brought to our home, our entire family is also at risk of exposure. How would you feel if another parent brought their sick child and exposed your child? We STRESS this again -- if you are not sure whether or not it is okay to bring your child, please call ahead to ask us. We may require a doctor’s decision as to whether or not the child is contagious. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Infection Control Procedures: Health Promotion
