With forecasts predicting extremely hot temperatures and high heat indexes next week, it is important to revisit our heat safety precautions. The best defense against heat-related reactions is good prevention. The focus of our staff will be on "constant surveillance" of students during high heat to ensure student health. Should symptoms arise, they will be addressed immediately.
Our faculty and staff will take the heat into close consideration when planning outdoor activities to reduce student exposure to some of the hottest periods of the day.
