Facts about Lice



Yes, like everywhere else, there are head lice in York Region and At Silver Stream. A reminder that it’s important to check your child’s head if they’ve been in contact with someone who has lice or if they appear to have an itchy scalp and are scratching a lot. Don’t panic! Be sensitive to your child’s feelings and check your child’s head right away. Checking for lice takes patience, diligence and plenty of time.
Effective treatment means:
Check all family members
Treat only family members that have head lice
Apply a head lice treatment as directed
Remove all the nits (eggs)
Know the facts – talk to a Public Health Nurse If your children have lice, Please let the school know. If you have any questions or concerns contact York Region Health Services or the school.

Dressing for Cooler Weather



All our students will be expected to be outside before, during and after school in all weather conditions (i.e., rain or shine, snow or heat). Students need to come to school dressed to play outside during recesses. Boots (for rain or snow), rain jackets, hats, mitts, scarves and snow pants will help make recess an enjoyable time. It is advisable for children to keep extra pants and socks at school in case they get wet. To avoid adding to our clothing collection in the Lost and Found Bin, please be sure to label all articles of clothing
