Vaping Parent Information & Tips
Here are few tips covered in the article and a few additional thoughts on how to support your student in avoiding this dangerous and growing trend:
- Don't be afraid to check their belongings. The article outlines places known to conceal vapes.
- Look for unusual USB chargers. While students may go to great lengths to conceal their vapes, the chargers are usually in plain sight.
- Educate students on the health risks associated with vaping. Our school curriculum found at Catchmybreath.org provides information about physical damages including effects on the teenage brain.
- Notice if your student has a nagging cough, trouble sleeping through the night, and/or takes frequent breaks from social/family gatherings.
- Bathrooms and bathroom stalls are the top location for vaping on campus. Tivy High School bathrooms are equipped with vape sensors that immediately alert school administrators.
Thank you for partnering with us to help our students make sound healthy choices.
