IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS |
|
|
Campus Safety: Canine Searches
Lewis-Palmer High School partners with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office to conduct proactive canine searches on campus each semester. These searches, which may include classrooms, common areas, and locker rooms, are part of our ongoing commitment to student safety. They are intended to prevent the presence of prohibited substances and to ensure a safe learning environment for all students and staff. Families will be notified after each canine search has taken place. Smoking and Tobacco We also wanted to bring your attention to a recent handbook change surrounding caffeine pouches. Since the pouches are indistinguishable from nicotine pouches, both high schools are not allowing students to use caffeine pouches while at school. The handbook language change is below.
Tobacco, vaping, or the display of tobacco, as well as products too difficult to distinguish from prohibited substances (e.g., caffeine pouches), in any form by any person on the school grounds or at school-sponsored activities is not permitted. As used in this section, “tobacco” means: any product that contains nicotine or tobacco or is derived from tobacco and is intended to be ingested, inhaled or metabolized by or applied to the skin of an individual; or any electronic device that can be used to deliver nicotine to the person inhaling from the device, including but not limited to an electronic cigarettes, vape pens or any delivery device (Ref Policy: JICDA, JICH)
