As winter break approaches, many families look forward to time together, holiday celebrations, and a well-earned rest before the new year. This season also brings more social gatherings for teens—school events, celebrations with friends, and increased independence as schedules shift. While these experiences can be positive, they also come with risks that are important for parents and caregivers to keep in mind. Our district’s Health Services Team is sharing information and resources to help families support safe, healthy choices during this time.

Last month, parents, students, and community members gathered at Louisville Middle School for a community conversation on e-bike safety hosted by the Louisville Police Department. The event brought together experts from the Louisville Police and Fire Departments, Intermountain Health, and BVSD’s Safe Routes to School program to help families better understand the fast-changing world of e-bikes, e-motos, and youth riding behaviors.
