Head Lice
Not a pleasant topic but they do occur from time to time in all elementary schools. Head lice are a nuisance and are easily passed from child to child. At Kelly Creek we deal with them in the following manner:
Regular head checks are done by trained parent volunteers. All cases are handled in a caring and confidential manner.
When a case of head lice is confirmed, the parent is informed and information on how best to handle the problem is sent home with the child. Children with head lice should receive treatment and be checked again to ensure they are lice free.
Please remember that the presence of lice does not in any way suggest uncleanliness; the louse actually prefers clean hair! Please contact the school if you discover head lice as the class will need to be checked. Thank you for your support and patience with this issue.
Procedures Earthquake
In case of an earthquake children will use the earthquake procedure explained at school - Stop Drop And Cover.
After the earthquake subsides the students will be led to the playing field. If the building is declared safe: Students will be brought back to their classes.
Teachers will cross the student's name off their emergency list IF a parent/emergency contact takes the child home.
If buses are running children not already picked up will be sent home at the regular time.
If buses are NOT running at 2:20 pm, children not already picked up will be assembled in one area and supervised until a parent/emergency contact arrives OR until directed to another reception area by the Provincial Emergency Coordinator for our district.
Kelly Creek Community School is a Designated Earthquake Reception Area.
