Extreme Heat Information
When our temperatures are high, it is important to drink lots of water, have access to air conditioning, rest in the shade when possible, wear loose, lightweight clothing, and limit direct sun as much as possible. It may also be necessary to limit outdoor activity during extreme temperatures.
LUESD is in communication with our local health department and receiving guidance from CDPH regarding extreme heat conditions. We are following the recommendations for inclement weather and being updated frequently by our local health department and CDPH.

SCA is caused by a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system that abruptly halts the heartbeat. These malfunctions are most often caused by an arrhythmia—an irregular heartbeat, or a structural problem. A variety of heart conditions can be congenital (present at birth) or can grow over time. Some conditions are hereditary, which is why knowing your extended family’s heart history is an important inclusion in your child’s medical record. At LUESD, all student's and student parent's participating in the athletic program need to read and sign this form.
