The LCPS Letter
E‑bikes and e‑scooters continue to grow in popularity among students, but their increased use has also led to safety concerns in our community. Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of everyone on our campuses, all motorized and electric-powered personal transport devices and toys are prohibited from being operated on school grounds. Students may use these devices to commute to school. Once on school property, however, the student must walk their motorized or electric-powered device. Please see the E-Bike and E-Scooter Safety webpage for more information.
National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, on Friday, Aug. 21, serves as a solemn reminder of the profound impact of this crisis. It is also a time to honor those working tirelessly to advance awareness, education and prevention efforts in Virginia and across the nation. We remind our community that together, we have the power to make a difference. Learn about the dangers of fentanyl, know the signs of an opioid overdose and what you can do to protect your family and community members. Awareness is one of our greatest tools to combat this deadly substance. www.lcps.org/opioid.
