We want to make our families and community members aware of a concerning social media trend known as the TikTok Chromebook Challenge. This challenge encourages students to intentionally damage school-issued Chromebooks—often by trying to short them out using metal objects—under the influence of viral content.
We take this matter very seriously. Not only does this behavior result in the destruction of valuable school property, but it also poses serious safety risks to students, including the potential for electric shock, burns, or other injuries. Tampering with electronic devices is never safe and should not be taken lightly.
We are asking parents and guardians to talk with their children about the dangers of participating in or promoting harmful online trends. Please encourage them to think critically about the content they encounter on social media and to make choices that reflect respect for themselves, others, and our learning environment.
If you become aware of any students engaging in or planning this kind of behavior, please report it to school staff or administration. Working together, we can ensure a safe, respectful, and positive environment for all students.
Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you for your dedication, passion, and heart. We’re so grateful — and excited to celebrate YOU this week! We are blessed with the best!
