High School Suspension 🤡

Hi,
So embarrassing but freshman year of high school, a couple of my "friends" and I got caught vaping in the bathroom (i know i know). Was suspended for a day or two. I am unsure whether to disclose this information since I am not sure if this is on my record or not. I also don't remember if my high school said they would put it on my record or not. For the character and fitness, do I need to disclose this or not. Some of them just say "professional school", but I don't know if i should call my high school or the law school and see if i should. I don't want this to end up resulting in not getting in to a majority of the schools. Didn't know freshman year was going to bite me in the arse now.
Any help would be awesome. If it is the case i do need to submit something, would this be a make or break factor?

    you will need to write a C&F explaining the situation, but from what I've read you'll be fine. Just disclose everything.

    i had a similar situation with a juul and a two day suspension in high school and disclosed it only for one application which specifically asked ( i think it was NYU) about anything beyond elementary grade level. otherwise did not. i got into NYU and ican't imagine it was even something they thought about for more than 10 seconds

    I don't believe you submit high school transcripts for law schools, at least not most of them. Typically, you submit only your undergraduate transcripts to LSAC, and they will submit them to the law schools you apply to. It would be quite silly for law schools to consider what happened in high school unless it was something extreme.
