Vaping is dangerous and strictly prohibited on school campuses, at school-sponsored activities, and under school supervision, per Education Code 48900 and 48901. Students found violating this policy may face disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion. Vaping poses serious health risks, including nicotine addiction, increased anxiety and depression, lung damage, and impaired brain development, which can affect learning, memory, and impulse control. It also increases the likelihood of using other tobacco products and exposes users to harmful toxins. Additionally, vaping can harm athletic performance by causing lung inflammation. Since the long-term effects of vaping are still unknown, it is crucial for parents to discuss these dangers with their children to help them make healthy choices for a bright future.

Winter months can bring challenges like the winter blues and academic stress. Physical activity is a great way to combat these feelings by releasing mood-boosting endorphins and providing a healthy outlet for pent-up energy. Encourage your child to stay active through outdoor games, walking, or sports to reduce stress and promote relaxation. These activities can help ease symptoms like anxiety, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Remember, staying active is key to maintaining well-being—so get up, get out, and move!

As part of every school’s comprehensive school safety plan, every student in Fowler Unified has practiced fire drill protocols. Elementary schools practice monthly drills while our secondary sites practice one a semester. Students understand the sense of urgency while remaining calm in the event of a fire on campus and know what to do. Each site has a designated evacuation plan as well as a communication plan to follow.
