• MESSAGE FROM VICE PRINCIPAL TATE
  Dear Parents and Students,
  As we come to the end of the 2024-25 school year, I need to make you aware of a
  growing trend in schools and the serious consequences that come with this trend.
  Students across the country have begun putting pencil lead and sharp metal objects in the charging ports of Chromebooks. This will cause the Chromebooks to overheat and smoke. In some cases, the Chromebooks have exploded and caught on fire leading to evacuations and injuries. Participating in this type of willful destruction of school property is in direct violation of the WCSD Safe School Policy and may lead to suspension, the cost of repairs, and referral to the HCPD for vandalism. Please have a conversation with your students to ensure they do not engage in these activities.
