(KNZA)--Holton Elementary School will be treated for bed bugs.

That word comes in a social media post made Tuesday by Principal Karen Williams.

According to the post, the elementary school building will be treated Saturday as a precautionary measure. The post says that’s happening because it has come to the attention of school leaders “that there are students who may have bed bugs in their homes and that there have been some sightings” in the Holton school.

The school is asking that no one come to the classroom portion of the building on Saturday.

Staff has been instructed to take personal stuffed animals, soft chairs, rugs, blankets, bean bags, and other such items home in order for Saturday’s treatment to be successful. Parents are also asked to not send such items to school with their children.

Those who are aware of bed bugs in their home are urged to call the Jackson County Health Department at 785-364-2670.
