In an effort to address the growing concerns surrounding vaping among students, Victoria ISD, in collaboration with Mid-Coast Family Services, is taking proactive steps to support families.
House Bill 114 mandates have prompted the establishment of a comprehensive vaping education program aimed at helping parents and guardians understand and combat this issue effectively.
What to Expect
Parents and guardians of students with a vaping offense are encouraged to enroll in the Saturday Vape Education Classes, which are designed to provide valuable insights and strategies. These informative sessions will take place every Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the VISD Connections facility. The curriculum is thoughtfully structured to include 30-minute lessons, interactive group discussions, and engaging activities.
Parent-Student Participation
It's important to note that parents and guardians are required to attend these classes alongside their children. This joint participation is crucial for fostering open communication and ensuring that both parties gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Moreover, attendance in these classes will be considered towards placement in the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP).
No Cost to Families
One of the most significant advantages of this initiative is that it comes at no financial cost to families. Victoria ISD is committed to making these services accessible to all, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder participation. This initiative empowers both students and parents with practical tools to prevent vaping and intervene effectively if their child is caught in the act.
Registration Information
To register for these invaluable classes, please visit Saturday Vape Education Class Form. We encourage all concerned parents and guardians of students who have been caught vaping or in possession of a vape pen at school to take advantage of this opportunity to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills needed to address vaping-related issues within their families.
Get in Touch
For any additional information or inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to your student's campus administration. You can also contact Mid-Coast Family Services for further support and resources.
Together, we can work towards creating a safer, healthier environment for our students and ensure they make informed choices when it comes to their well-being. Victoria ISD remains committed to the welfare of our students and the support of our community.
