The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Advisory through tomorrow at 10:00 am; however, high temperatures are expected through the end of the week.
During this time of year, the Inland Empire consistently experiences hot conditions across San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. High temperatures significantly increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, so it is important to plan and take precautions. Monitor weather conditions on the National Weather Service website or on our weather station at Yucaipa High School.
Our team actively monitors weather conditions and has procedures in place to mitigate heat-related illnesses for our students and employees. Similar to wet or winter weather conditions, indoor facilities are made available for lunch and recess, as needed. In addition, each of our schools has numerous drinking fountains and water bottle-filling stations to help keep everyone on campus hydrated. We also wanted to provide tips to help our students avoid heat-related illnesses.
Send your child to school in light, loose-fitting clothes that do not violate your school’s dress code.
Avoid heavy jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, and other heavy clothing. Purchase a refillable water bottle for your child to reuse throughout the school day. Ensure your child is drinking plenty of water and avoiding sugary drinks. They shouldn't wait until they are thirsty to drink
Limit time outdoors during the hottest parts of the day.
It is also important to know the signs of heat-related illness. Below is a graphic from the National Weather Service that will help you keep an eye on your child during these hot conditions.
We appreciate you taking the time to help us protect your child from heat-related illness during these hot conditions. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with your school principal.
