Lice
What are the district’s expectations when it comes to lice?
Head lice are a common concern among school-aged children and are not a sign of poor hygiene. The district follows current public health guidance to manage lice in a way that supports student health while minimizing unnecessary missed instructional time.
-
Students found to have live lice may be sent home at the end of the school day for treatment. In some cases, a parent/guardian may be asked to pick up the student sooner, depending on the situation.
-
Treatment should begin before the student returns to school. This typically includes the use of an appropriate lice treatment product and removal of live lice.
-
Students are generally allowed to return to school after treatment has been initiated. The presence of nits (eggs) alone does not exclude a student from school.
-
The school nurse may recheck the student upon return and provide guidance if additional treatment is needed.
-
Parents/guardians are encouraged to check household members and wash or clean personal items (such as bedding, hats, and brushes) as part of treatment.
The district emphasizes education, early detection, and effective treatment while avoiding unnecessary exclusion from school.
Additional district information on head lice can be found here:

Yes. Willis ISD Health Services, under the guidelines of the Texas Department of State Health Services, provides a screening program for vision and hearing for all students in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades and students new to Texas.

How often do I need to update our contact information?
Accurate and current parent/guardian contact information ensures:
-
Quick communication in case of illness or injury
-
Timely response during emergencies
Changes in address or phone number should be updated ASAP to ensure ease of communication. Please notify the school immediately of any changes.
When should I expect a phone call from the nurse?
Parents/guardians can expect to be contacted by the school nurse when a student has a health concern that may require follow-up, monitoring, or dismissal from school.
This may include situations such as:
-
Fever or symptoms of illness that may require the student to go home
-
Injury beyond minor first aid
-
Head injuries
-
Ongoing or concerning symptoms (vomiting, difficulty breathing, severe pain, etc.)
-
Health issues related to a known medical condition (such as asthma or diabetes) that require attention beyond routine care
-
When clarification or additional information is needed regarding your child’s health history or care plan
For minor issues (such as small scrapes, mild headaches, or routine care), a phone call may not be made, but care will still be provided
If a parent/guardian cannot be reached, the nurse will contact individuals listed on the student’s emergency contact list.
If you ever have questions about your child’s visit to the clinic, you are encouraged to contact the school nurse directly.

Willis ISD prohibits bullying, including cyberbullying:
- On school property,
- At school-sponsored or school-related activities on or off school property, or

Bullying may include physical conduct or verbal or written expression, including electronic expression, that was delivered to school property or to the site of a school-sponsored or school-related activity, or off school property or outside of a school-sponsored or school-related activity, if the cyberbullying interferes with a student’s educational opportunities or substantially disrupts the orderly operation of a classroom, school, or school-sponsored or school-related activity.
Bullying is not tolerated by the District, and any student or parent of a student who believes that the student or another student has experienced bullying or that a student has engaged in bullying is encouraged to immediately report the incident. Retaliation against anyone involved in the reporting process is a violation of District policy and is prohibited.
Students or parents may report an alleged incident of bullying, orally or in writing, to a teacher, school counselor, principal, or other District employee. Students or parents may obtain an Incident Report Form at the links below. A student may report the incident anonymously.

The principal or designee shall conduct an appropriate investigation based on the allegations in the report. The principal or designee shall promptly take interim action calculated to prevent bullying during the course of an investigation, if appropriate. We encourage you to communicate with your designated campus administrator during this time. Learn more about the district's bullying policy.
