Dear Parents and Families,

You may have heard in the news about the dangers of teenagers using vapor products. At Kamiak, we are also experiencing an increase in students using these products. Please take the time to talk to your child about the dangers of using vapor products. As a reminder, all vapor products are not allowed on school grounds. Students in the possession and/or using vapor products will be subject to school discipline.

MYTH: Vapes produce harmless water vapor

FACT: Vapes produce an aerosol that has nicotine and toxins known to cause cancer. These toxic chemicals include things like benzene, cadmium, lead, and nickel. The chemical diacetyl, found in many vape flavors, is linked to serious lung disease.

Cell Phone/Electronic Devices are not allowed during class periods OR passing times.  Confiscated items will be held in the Main Office for PARENT pick-up at the end of the day.  Chronic or willful disrespect of the policy will be subject to progressive school discipline.  Students have received this information along with the Kamiak Student Handbook and the District Rights & Responsibilities Handbook (the policy is stated on page 22 of this publication).
