Wolverine Weekly

Friday, May 9, 2025

Dear Wolverine Families,

Testing this week went smoothly. For the most part, students were focused, well-rested, and came prepared for testing. As a leader, I believe in the benefits of having standards in education. Assessments that measure student achievement help drive our reflection about what and how we teach students. I believe that these assessments can provide valuable information in building the best pathways to individual career and academic plans after high school. We strive, as always, to be the best school and district for all of us to learn, work, and lead!

Important Chromebook Information:

Student Chromebooks and chargers will be collected May 12-16. All students will turn in their Chromebooks and chargers during their English class on their designated day unless they have AP tests to take after their assigned collection day.

Tuesday, May 13 - Sophomores

Wednesday, May 14 - Freshmen

Safety Alert:

Out of an abundance of caution, I am reaching out to inform you of a deeply concerning and dangerous trend currently circulating on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, known as the "Laptop Fire Challenge." This challenge encourages students to engage in behavior that involves tampering with laptops or other school technology in ways that could cause overheating or even fires.

Let me be clear: this activity is extremely dangerous. It poses serious risks to student safety, school property, and the well-being of our entire school community. Any attempt to participate in this challenge, even as a joke, will not be tolerated.

Students found engaging in this behavior will face immediate and severe disciplinary action, including potential suspension or expulsion. In addition, due to the serious safety hazards involved, law enforcement may be contacted, and students may face criminal charges or civil liability for any resulting damage or harm.

We ask for your partnership in speaking with your child about the dangers of participating in or sharing harmful online trends. Please monitor their social media usage and encourage them to report anything they see or hear that could pose a threat to safety.
