Paw Print #35

Please be aware there is a very concerning TikTok trend telling kids to use pencil lead, staples or other conductive materials to short out the ports on their school laptops. Information Technology (IT) has unfortunately seen this happening in our system this week at a couple of our schools.

At this point we are asking parents to be vigilant and address misuse. Intentional damage to a school issued device will result in restitution which will not be waived.
