Tiktok Challenge Causing Chromebook Fire Risk

May 8, 2025
 
Good Afternoon Anthony Wayne Campus Families,

We want to alert you to a new TikTok trend that puts students at risk for injury. Students are placing conductive materials like paper clips, gum wrappers and writing utensils into the ports on their Chromebooks in an attempt to create smoke and/or cause the device to catch fire.

Unfortunately, we have started to see students attempting this challenge at Anthony Wayne. This is causing a significant safety concern within our school building and our buses. 

We are monitoring student behavior and encourage you to speak with your child(ren) about the dangers this could cause to themselves and others. Additionally, intentional damage to school property - including Chromebooks - will result in disciplinary action.

The District Technology Department has provided additional Chromebook care reminders for students and families. Please also review this information with your child

Thank you for your continued support in providing a safe learning environment for all students. As always, please contact your school office with any questions.

Sincerely,
Kevin Pfefferle, Principal   
Anthony Wayne High School 

Jordan Lefevre, Principal
AW Junior High School 

Matt Smith, Principal 
Fallen Timbers Middle School
