Dear SPS Parents and Guardians,
We are reaching out to inform you about a troubling trend that has emerged on social media that encourages students to intentionally damage or destroy school-issued Chromebooks.
This behavior not only results in costly damage to school property, but it also poses serious safety risks to students and property. Damaging electronic devices can lead to them overheating, smoking or even catching fire, which could result in serious injuries, fire and smoke damage to your property, or exposure to harmful materials.
Students who participate in such actions will face disciplinary consequences, including possible suspension, restitution for damaged property and even the potential for police involvement.
We ask for your partnership in speaking with your child about the importance of using school devices responsibly and the potential consequences of engaging in harmful online trends.
Our top priority is ensuring a safe and respectful learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school principal.
Thank you.
