Tik Tok Challenge-Devious Licks
Parents or Guardians,
I am asking you to have a conversation with your child about the latest Tik Tok challenge (Devious Licks) that is circulating among students and creating property damage on some school campuses. The challenge involves stealing, breaking, or destroying school property. Students record themselves or friends involved in the challenge and then post on social media.
As a principal, I cannot fathom why students would want to destroy their own school or any place. This is something that has been happening at many schools and in other school districts, and I am disheartened that our school has now been targeted (boys restroom-twice).
I want to be very clear; we will investigate every incident of vandalism on our campus. Students who are involved in the vandalism and the recording of the incident will be disciplined and may also face criminal charges.
I realize that a large majority of our students would never participate in this activity on any level. I am hoping that having conversations with students at home will lead to conversations among peers reminding them that they are engaging in criminal behavior that violates the code of conduct - and the law. I know we can all work together to protect the learning environment for everyone.
Thank you for partnering with us!
Respectfully,
Mr. Parker
