Safety Tip: Vaping devices come in all shapes and sizes
School safety includes student health and well-being. “Vaping” – smoking through the use of e-cigarettes – is a frustratingly persistent issue on our campus. While vaping devices are never allowed on campus, some vaping devices appear as if they were intentionally built to conceal their real function. Here are a few examples that have been recently confiscated. It’s always helpful for students to be reminded about the dangers of vaping, and we encourage you to have that conversation with them. There are resources and programs available to help teens quit. Please also feel free to speak with your student’s counselor for more information.
