Dear Parents,

During this morning’s Children’s Center program it was discovered a child had a vape pen. It was immediately taken away and the parent was notified. Other children in the program witness the child use the pen and became very concerned. I am writing this email to make all of our families aware of what occurred and to please speak to your children about it at home this evening. Also, please speak to your children about what they should not be bringing to school and the Children’s Center. We also that no toys, perfumes, make up, stuffed animals, or dangerous items be brought in their book bags to reduce the amount of issues that can happen if a child breaks, steals, trades ingests or loses an item.  

Here is the link to the Prevention Council in Putnam if you need assistance in speaking to your child regarding today’s incident. They have very good information and are very helpful in our community.
