🚨 Safety Alert for Families 🚨
A dangerous TikTok trend, the "Chromebook Challenge," encourages students to insert objects into Chromebook ports to cause sparks or fires. This is extremely unsafe and can result in serious injury and damage. Please talk with your child about the risks and remind them to use technology responsibly. Thank you for helping us keep students safe.
