Dear Parents/Carers,

Recently, cases of head lice have been identified across the school and we wanted to make sure you were kept informed.

Whilst lice are nothing more than a nuisance, it is important that children are checked on a weekly basis so that any head lice can be dealt with quickly and before they are allowed to spread.

We suggest that you check your child’s head regularly.

Here is some simple advice you may wish to follow to keep head lice at bay.

• Check your child’s hair once a week.
• Use a proper detection comb. The comb is usually white in colour so that lice can be easily identified.
• If you find live lice, visit the Pharmacy where you will be able to access the treatment under the minor ailments scheme and remember to check the whole family.
• Further advice on the treatment of head lice can be found on NHS website            Head lice and nits – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Next Thursday 30th March, our Parent Council are hosting a Spring Fling disco. Please see the poster attached for details.

Spring Fling Disco Poster 2023

Please note that coming to the disco, children should enter via the Community Entrance, and at the end of the disco, they should be collected from the gym hall door at the rear of the car park.

The Form link below should be used for pupils to submit their favourite song to be added to the Disco playlist.

It’s that time of year again when we start to plan for our new session!  As usual your views and ideas are very important to us.  Please take some time to consider the questions on the FORM attached.  There is also space at the bottom of the FORM to make general suggestions regarding how we can make our school the best it can be.

Thank you in advance for your on going support,

Team New Cumnock PS.
