As you may have seen in the local news, there is a new social media trend in which students attempt to short out their school-issued device (Chromebook, laptop computer, etc.) which leads them to melt, or even catch on fire. Evidence of this has already been seen in FCPS with one school having to be evacuated last week.
As outlined in district communication, this is a serious offense and will be treated as such. Per the FCPS Student Code of Conduct, this is classified as arson and any student engaging in this behavior will be suspended, recommended for expulsion, and fined for all associated damages. Please take time to speak with your student(s) about the dangers and repercussions of such actions.
Please reach out to me or your student's Academy Principal if you have questions or concerns.
