We need to address a dangerous and destructive trend that has been circulating on TikTok. Some students have been inserting pencil or mechanical pencil lead into Chromebook ports, which causes the device to spark or smoke. This is extremely unsafe and can permanently damage the Chromebook.
Let this be a clear reminder: all students have signed the Chromebook Use Agreement, and it will be enforced. If you damage your Chromebook—whether intentionally or through misuse—you will be held financially responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement, as outlined in the agreement.
In addition, any student who participates in this behavior may face serious disciplinary action, including detention, suspension, or loss of technology privileges.
Use your Chromebook responsibly and help keep our school safe.
Thank you for your attention.
Mr. Jose Cuevas
