Subject: Important Safety Warning About Chromebook Misuse
Dear Students and Families,
We want to inform you of a dangerous social media trend circulating, particularly on TikTok. Some students have attempted to insert metal objects or pencils into the Chromebook charging ports. This has already caused ports to melt, smoke to be emitted, and in some cases, risked the devices catching on fire. Students should only be inserting cables and connectors that are designed for Chromebooks into the ports. No other objects should be utilized.
This behavior is extremely unsafe and will not be tolerated.
Please be advised:
Any student responsible for this kind of damage will be billed for the full cost of the Dell Chromebook: $250, and the CTL Chromebooks are $398. There will also be serious disciplinary consequences for anyone found participating in or promoting this behavior.
We urge all students to treat school-issued technology responsibly. These devices are learning tools, and misuse not only causes damage, but it also puts everyone’s safety at risk.
If you become aware of any student engaging in or encouraging this behavior, please report it to a teacher or administrator immediately.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our school safe.
Sincerely,
Mr. Travis Barnes
Principal, Caribou Community School
Dr. Leland Caron,
Principal, Caribou Community School
Mrs. Jamie Selfridge
Principal, Caribou High School
Mr. Benjamin Goodwin
Assistant Principal, Caribou High School
