The Working With Children class had a busy week! Puppets were completed!
On Thursday the class met their third grade pen pals enjoying games and activities. I would like to thank Mrs. DiLuglio for allowing my students into her classroom and participating in this project. All students had an enjoyable time and so did the teachers!
Another amazing Good Night Lights in the books at Hasbro Children’s Hospital! For the last few years School Resource Officer Sgt. Parenti works with other School Resource officer’s in the state to gather high schools for this special night. This year, we had 200 students and six school districts represented! Thank you to all the officers,school administrators and first responders that participated tonight with their students!
Dear Scituate Families,
We are writing to inform you about a concerning and hazardous trend circulating on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, known as the “Chromebook Challenge.” This trend encourages students to insert conductive materials—such as pencil lead, paper clips, aluminum foil, or metallic gum wrappers—into the USB ports or charging areas of their school-issued Chromebooks. The intent is to create electrical short circuits, which can result in sparking, smoke, and even fires. Such actions pose significant risks, including potential injuries, damage to school property, and disruptions to the learning environment. WJAR+6CT Insider+6Parents+6Columbia Borough School District.
In other schools and districts, this behavior has typically led to school evacuations and property damage in neighboring states, including Connecticut. The safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority, and we are taking proactive measures to prevent such dangerous activities in our schools. CT Insider+2Yahoo News+2Parents+2
Consequences for Engaging in This Behavior:
Disciplinary Actions: Students found participating in this activity will face severe disciplinary measures, which may include suspension, in accordance with our district policies and student handbooks.
Financial Responsibility: Families will be held financially responsible for any damages to the facility or property resulting from such actions. The cost to replace a damaged Chromebook can be up to $300.
Legal Implications: Tampering with electronic devices in this manner may be considered criminal behavior, potentially leading to charges such as vandalism or arson https://www.azfamily.com+4CT Insider+4https://www.mysuncoast.com+4
Our Community Standards:
Scituate is proud of its strong, respectful, and responsible school community. Engaging in activities that endanger others or damage property is unacceptable and goes against the values we uphold. We are committed to maintaining a safe and conducive learning environment for all students.Kitsap Sun+3Greenwich Time+3https://www.mysuncoast.com+3
Parental Guidance:
We urge parents and guardians to have open conversations with their children about the dangers and consequences of participating in such online trends. Encourage them to:
Refrain from engaging in or promoting harmful challenges.
Report any knowledge of such activities to a trusted adult or school official.
Use school-issued devices responsibly and by school policies.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school principal or the district office.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your continued partnership in ensuring the safety and well-being of our students.
Sincerely,
Scituate Administrative Team

Subject: Reminder – Food Delivery Policy and Building Safety
Dear Students and Families, May 2, 2025
We want to take a moment to address an important matter related to school safety. Recently, we have observed an increase in students using mobile food delivery services (such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.) during the school day.
We understand the convenience these services offer, but please note that food deliveries are not permitted during school hours, as outlined in the student handbook. This procedure is in place to help us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students and staff.
Unfortunately, some students have been opening exterior doors to allow delivery drivers into the building. This has primarily occurred before lunchtime and during 8th and 9th periods.
Allowing any unauthorized individuals—no matter their purpose—into the building poses a serious safety concern. These actions create vulnerabilities in our security procedures and increase risks that are otherwise preventable.
Moving forward:
No food deliveries will be accepted at school during the instructional day.
If a delivery driver attempts to enter the building or make a drop-off, they may be subject to a safety check completed by the Police Department. The food will be searched and confiscated.
Any incidents involving unauthorized building access will be documented accordingly.
We ask for your partnership in reinforcing this policy with your student. Our shared goal is to keep our school safe, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring that we uphold these standards together.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Michael Hassell
High School Principal
Sgt. R. Parenti
School Resource Officer
