Head Lice
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Can wigs or hairpieces
spread head lice?
Head lice and their eggs (nits) soon perish if separated from their human host. Adult head lice can live only a day or so off the human head without blood for feeding. Nymphs (young head lice) can live only for several hours without feeding on a human. Nits (head lice eggs) generally die within a week away from their human host and cannot hatch at room temperature lower than that of a human scalp. For these reasons, the risk of transmission of head lice from a wig or hairpiece is extremely small, particularly if the wig or hairpiece has not been worn within the preceding 48 hours by someone who is actively infested with live head lice.

The next Wayland Weekly will be available the week after Thanksgiving Break. /“Test” One Call
Parents, we will be issuing a “test” one call on Monday, Nov. 28, from 5:30 -7:30 PM. If you do not receive this One Call and would like to receive One Call Notifications from Wayland, please send a note with your child that includes the names of people to add, along with their phone numbers. An accurate information system will help us in relaying information regarding school closings once the weather
becomes inclement. We appreciate your help in insuring that our information on how to contact you is current.
Parent Portal Mobile App
There is a new mobile app for Infinite Campus’ Parent Portal. Directions for downloading the app are under the parent portal link on the Ohio County Schools webpage. The access code is KPYSRY.
Developmental Asset
of the Month
Together We Care and Ohio County Schools have partnered to promote Developmental Assets in Ohio County. This strength-based model focuses on “building blocks of healthy development that help youth grow up healthy, caring and responsible”. The developmental asset for November is #9 – Service to Others. Encourage children to help others. Ideas include raking leaves for an elderly neighbor, helping a sibling with homework, picking up trash on the playground,
setting the dinner table, or making a card for a sick relative. Make someone’s day!
Medicaid Managed
Care Program
Medicaid Managed Care changes went into effect on Nov. 1, 2011. If your child has a Medicaid or KCHIP card, the school needs to update your information, so please return the form sent home from the Green River District Heath Department as soon as possible. Call 855-446-1245 for information.
We are thankful for all of our Wayland parent and community volunteers! / Transportation Changes
Parents and Guardians, if you have a transportation issue, such as a child not getting off the bus or not being picked up, please call the transportation department directly at 298-4832. Someone is available at the school to answer the phones until 4:00, but often the transportation department can remedy the situation in a quicker, more direct manner. Also we remind you that any and all transportation changes need to be made by 1:00 in the afternoon. We encourage you to only make transportation changes in the event of an emergency, as it causes confusion for both staff and students.
Thank You
Dr John Schertzinger recently donated a free youth eye exam for each of Wayland’s two math nights. Wal-Mart Optical Center in Central City also donated a free pair of youth glasses, lens wipes, and a portable DVD player for each event. We appreciate the prizes and the community involvement. Other businesses and groups that wish to participate can call the Family Resource Center at 298-4063.
