Statistics show that nearly 20% of high schools and 5% of middle schoolers are vaping on a regular basis. There is a concern over the negative impact of vaping on students. Riverside Middle School is seeing some incidents of vaping. In an effort to be proactive and approach this issue as a team we have decided to hold a meeting to discuss vaping and how it is impacting our students. In order to support our students to be well rounded citizens we need our parents to be allies and support their students at home by having open communication with their children about the effects and dangers of vaping.
