E-Cigarettes and Juuls

Juul is the latest cigarette device. This slim e-cigarette vaporizer looks like a flash drive (see images below) and can be charged in a laptop's USB port. It makes less smoke than other devices - and dissipates quickly - so some students may even vape during school. The Juul delivers nicotine levels similar to a cigarettes.  

I'm providing this information to ensure that parents/guardians are aware of this latest harmful device.  These are very easily purchased in most convenient stores in our area.  These and any other e-cigarette products should not be in a students' possession.





 
3 reasons to say no to E-Cigarettes and Juuls
  • Safety Concerns - after analyzing e-cigarette samples, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that some products contain cancer-causing agents and toxic chemicals such as diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze.
  • No Convincing Evidence they will help you quit - in fact, there is evidence suggesting the opposite: A 2014 study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, revealed that smokers who use e-cigarettes are a third less likely to quit than those who do not use them.
  • What's proven to work still works - evidence shows the most effective way to quit is to use a combination of FDA-approved medications (like the nicotine patch, gum, lozenge, or bupropion) and counselling support. Choose what works for you.

Dual Credit Scholarship 

The Dual Credit Scholarship Program covers tuition for up to 2 dual credit courses for eligible Kentucky high school students in grades 11 or 12.  We met with students taking dual credit courses to explain necessary steps they need to take to apply for the scholarship and watch a mandatory video.

Some courses offered at the Area Technology Center (vocational school) are tuition bearing and will require these same steps be taken to have up to 2 courses reimbursed.  

It will be necessary to pay the tuition and wait for reimbursement.  The colleges typically do not let students register for spring semester if a balance is due.

Students/Parents need to go to the KHEAA website and log in to the MyKHEAA account to choose the scholarship preferences.  Please note:  a student will NOT be considered for the scholarship until AFTER the scholarship preferences are selected and submitted on KHEAA's website.
