Vaping and Juuling
- Juuling or Vaping is included in our tobacco use policy and is not allowed on the campus of our school regardless of age.
- Juuling and vaping is against the law for anyone in Rhode Island who is under 18
- Scituate High School has incorporated electronic tobacco use products in our 9-12 health curriculum over the past two years.
Students who are suspected of Juuling or Vaping by means of a report to administration, an adult observes a student vaping or Juuling, or there is the smell of Juuling in an area of the school where your teenager is present.
If suspected, administration will take the following steps.
- The student is brought into an administrator's office and is asked to empty pockets and bags are searched with at least one administrator and another adult present
- If a Juul or electronic vaping device is found, the device will be confiscated
First Offense:
- Parents are contacted, student receives one day of ALC (Alternate Learning Center) and a letter of reprimand is placed in their student file
Second Offense:
- Student receives at least one day of out of school suspension, and parents are requested to come into the school for a meeting immediately and a letter of reprimand is placed in their student file
Any student is who caught juuling or vaping and is an athlete will follow the life of an athlete policy CLICK HERE
Students will:
- Be suspended from games and practices
- Meet with the school resource officer
- Be required to meet with a substance abuse counselor
- Will apologize to the entire team and coaches
If an investigation determines that students are selling juuls or pods, students will be suspended out of school and will be charged by the Scituate Police Dept. and brought before the Juvenile Hearing Board.
From Officer Parenti:The Juvenile Services Division of the Scituate Police Department recently met with School Administrators. The purpose of the meeting was to develop progressive strategies to address the use of nicotine delivery devices by students in school buildings. The use of these devices creates a distraction from academics and is detrimental to school climate.
School administrators will continue to support prevention models such as the “Life of an Athlete” policy. They will also employ school sanctioned discipline for students in possession or suspected to be in possession of nicotine delivery devices. Types of discipline include but are not limited to in-school suspension and out-of-school suspension.
Lastly, school administrators will now have the ability to refer students found in possession of a nicotine delivery device to the Scituate Police Department. This will result in the confiscation of the device and may result in the student be charged with Rhode Island General Law (11-9-14) Use of Tobacco by Minors. The Scituate Police Department urges you to impress upon your child the serious consequences their poor decision could create.
We Need Your Help with Juuling
Also, encourage your teenagers to report any use within school to a teacher or administrator.

CTE Biomedical Pathway students completed an activity learning about the various locations in the brain responsible for vision, reasoning, language and a variety of other functions. Students then illustrated these locations onto a swim cap. The end result is the formation of the new Scituate Spartans Swim Team!
