Tobacco Use and Prevention Education (TUPE)
Tobacco Use and Prevention Education (TUPE)
Nicotine in any form is highly addictive, and many who start using one form of nicotine transition to another.
NIDA’s 2020 Monitoring the Future survey showed that the number of teens who say they vape nicotine has leveled off but remains high. The number of teens who say they smoked cigarettes in the past month declined significantly since the mid-1990s and is now at or near the lowest it ever has been. Because both smoking and vaping are so addictive, it is helpful to speak with a doctor when trying to quit either. A good strategy is never to start.

PERSONAL/SOCIAL
We would like to extend an invitation for you to share any transitions your family may be going through with our Counselor. While we respect your privacy, oftentimes students can be distracted and unable to learn when they are worried or anxious. All information is kept strictly confidential.
If your family is experiencing difficulties at home, we would like to provide support at school. We understand that you are not always able to share details and that's okay. If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning or weekend, please text "Handle with Care" to 925-272-9639 Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let us know that your child may need extra time, patience or help during the day.
