Vaping Policy

Parents, as well as teachers and school staff should be encouraged and trained to recognize signs of vaping among students.

Some observable signs may include:

Unusual smells, such as fruity or sweet scents

Frequent trips to the bathroom or secluded areas

Increased thirst or dry mouth

Sudden changes in behavior or mood, such as irritability or anxiety

Physical symptoms like coughing, throat irritation, or nosebleeds
