Dear Parents,
Due to requests from parents and teachers, we have arranged a talk for parents by the Public Health Nurse who is linked to our school on lice detection and eradication. (Bug Busting)
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 26th of September at 7.30pm in the Multi-Purpose Room in Scoil Mhuire. The nurse will talk through the detection and treatment of lice and show a short dvd demonstration.

There will be a free Bug Busting kit to all parents who attend.  We urge all parents to attend the meeting so that we can keep Scoil Mhuire as lice free as possible and avoid ongoing return cases of the bugs. We will organise our 4 separate check days for ‘homework’ instead of regular homework once the meeting has taken place.  It is also vital, that your child’s hair is tied up at all times during school. This includes boys who wear their hair long, (where the hair is long enough to be tied back.) This helps hugely in preventing the spread of head lice.

Secondly, It is important to inform your child’s class teacher if your child has any medical condition or needs to have medication in school (epipens, inhalers.) Please ensure that this medication is up to date and that your child’s teacher knows how to administer it in the event of an emergency. This may mean coming into the school and demonstrating how to use the medication. Your teacher will give you the consent forms needed for (a) displaying medical information for the awareness of other staff members and (b) for permission to administer medication.

Thank-you for your cooperation in all these matters and we look forward to seeing you at the meeting on the 26th.

Kind Regards,
Claire Mannix (Health & Safety Staff Representative.)
