Students, Parents & Guardians, We want to make you aware of a concerning trend circulating on TikTok that encourages students to intentionally damage or destroy school-issued Chromebooks. This type of behavior is a direct violation of both the Mobile Device Agreement and the Responsible Use Agreement that all students and parents signed at the beginning of the school year. Anyone who intentionally damages or destroys their Chromebook or other school-owned technology may be held responsible for the full replacement cost and may also be subject to additional disciplinary action. These actions are not covered by the take-home protection fee. We ask for your support in reminding students to treat their devices—and all school property—with care and responsibility. Let’s work together to finish the school year strong, safely, and the #HaymakerWay. Dr. Dan Endorf, Superintendent Cozad Community Schools
