Health and Safety
Below are pictures of the different types of popular Vapes students are using. Please be on the lookout for these devices. Students caught with these devices will face disciplinary consequences. Resources are available for students who desire to quit tobacco use. Please reach out to a counselor or administrator for more information.
FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE -
We have compiled a list of students who are non-compliant with their required vaccines according to our health office records. Letters to those affected are in the mail. If you receive one of these letters please promptly update these vaccines, or provide documentation that they have been completed to the health office as soon as possible. Just a reminder our exclusion date for non-compliant students is Monday, October 18th. If your student is still non-compliant on this date they will be sent home. (This does not apply to the covid vaccination.)
Thank you,
AHS Nursing staff
