FVSD Extreme Heat Advisory: Safety Guidance & Campus Actions

Monitor Conditions: Track National Weather Service HeatRisk, CalHeatScore, local weather, and on-site Wet Bulb Globe Temperature readings for strenuous activities.
Adjust Schedules: Modify, relocate, reschedule, or cancel recess, PE, athletics, outdoor instruction, expanded learning activities, and events as conditions require.
Provide Relief: Ensure access to drinking water, shade, cool-down areas, and air-conditioned indoor spaces.
Address Facilities: Relocate students if cooling systems or other facility conditions are insufficient.
Communicate: Notify families of any significant changes affecting their school or student activities.

Send Water: Provide your student with a refillable water bottle and encourage frequent hydration throughout the day.
Dress Appropriately: Choose lightweight clothing and consider a hat and sunscreen for outdoor time.
Encourage Self-Care: Remind your student to tell an adult immediately if they feel dizzy, weak, nauseated, unusually tired, confused, or otherwise unwell.
Update Health Information: Ensure the school has current information about medical conditions or medications that may increase heat sensitivity.
Stay Informed: Watch for school and District messages regarding activity or schedule changes.
