IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We would like to help students who are addicted to vaping. We have a program ready to implement to help our students who want and need this help. Since Ms. Hicks is in the medical profession, what she finds out from students legally cannot be shared with administration. This is NOT a process where we are trying to catch students. This is solely a process where students can receive the help they need to overcome their addiction with nicotine. Ms. Hicks will be available in her office, in the main office, Wednesdays from 2:30-3:30pm. Students simply need to go to the main office and ask to see the nurse. I hope some of our students take this opportunity to help themselves. If one student receives the help they need this program will be a success!
