The NO LICE/NO NITS (eggs) ordinance GR-05-01 was passed by the Gila River Indian Community Tribal Council in April 2002.  The Nurse and Teacher Aides will periodically check students in the privacy of the Nurse’s office.  Those students that have live lice or live nits will be sent home with lice shampoo and a comb.  Your child will be excused for three (3) days to clean his/her hair.  After the third day of absence, your child will be unexcused.  Upon returning to school, the nurse will recheck him/her and if still not clean, he/she will be sent back home.  If no live lice or live nits are seen, the student will be allowed to stay at school.
