Student use and/or possession of tobacco, tobacco-related products, electronic cigarette, or liquid nicotine or similar products will not be permitted on or adjacent to any district property, on district school buses or loading or unloading areas or at any school event, home or away.
Smoking by Students: Students are reminded that it is a long-standing policy that smoking by a student during the school day is prohibited within sight of any bus loading area.

This includes the abuse of inhalants and/or prescription medications. Students are not to have aerosol cans in their possession or on school property. Aerosol cans or other items that may be used as an inhalant will be confiscated and will not be returned to the student. Students in violation of this rule will be suspended and law enforcement will be contacted. Recommended consequences will serve only as a guideline. The administration can use discretion when administering consequences. Students may be disciplined for off-campus conduct that disrupts, interferes, or otherwise affects the environment, activities or operation of the school.
