Hoisington school district warns students of TikTok trend

Parents, can you please assist us? We have heard of a new trend going around TikTok where students are intentionally jamming their pencils in to one of the USB ports on their Chromebooks , which then destroys the Chromebook.

Please help your students understand there will be consequences for these actions if they make a poor choice in this way to damage district property. Consequences may including but are not limited to a $235 fee to replace the Chromebook.

Thank you. We can all continue to work together to help our students make wise decisions.
