Dear Students and Families,
We have received concerning reports from neighboring school districts and our own students regarding a dangerous TikTok trend. This trend encourages students to intentionally create electrical short circuits in their Chromebooks by inserting items such as paper clips, pencil graphite, pushpins, folded metallic gum wrappers, and aluminum foil into the USB ports.
We want to emphasize in the strongest possible terms that this action poses a serious fire risk. Inserting metallic objects into the USB port can spark or puncture the lithium battery within the device, potentially leading to overheating, fire, or even explosion. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and this type of activity will not be tolerated.
Please be aware that if any student is caught engaging in this dangerous behavior on school property, they will face disciplinary actions in accordance with the school's code of conduct.
We also want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that what you see on TikTok or other social media platforms is not always safe or a good idea to try. Many of these "challenges" are created simply for views and can have serious real-life consequences. Before participating in any online trend, please consider the potential risks and think about your safety and the safety of others.
We urge you to speak with your children about the dangers of this trend and the importance of using their Chromebooks responsibly.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
