Heat Emergency Through Wednesday -- Be Safe

Local Channels are calling for a Heat Emergency through Wednesday.  That means the first few days of this school year will be very warm!  A water bottle would be a great idea.

 

 

 

 

 

We have several fountains that have been changed to fill water bottles.  There is one in east building inside room 100 by door 16.  There is one by the Media Center.  There is one in the cafeteria and two - one by each restroom - on the main floor of the west building.

 

 

Please do not bring glass bottles. Soda and other beverages are not encouraged as they do not resolve the thirst issues and in many cases exaggerate the conditions.

 

Please make sure your children understand personal safety and the need to be aware of overheating symtoms:
