We want to make families aware of a concerning trend circulating on social media, particularly TikTok. The "#ChromebookChallenge" encourages students to intentionally damage their school-issued Chromebooks by inserting metal objects into the charging port or tampering with the battery. This behavior is not only extremely dangerous, it can cause devices to short circuit or even catch fire, but it also results in serious consequences.

Please take a moment to talk with your child about the importance of responsible technology use and the dangers of participating in such online challenges. Any student found intentionally damaging school property may face disciplinary action, including suspension and/or being held financially responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement.

Thank you for your continued partnership in helping us keep our school community safe.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lisa Krueger

Superintendent of Schools
