As many of you know, earlier in the year, schools across the country had to deal with some vandalism due to a TikTok challenge. Hamilton was not immune and we were forced to close most of our restrooms at times due to the damage of vandalism. We appreciate all of our students and families who were able to provide information, including passing along information about upcoming challenges that are again spreading on social media.
The newest concern is students using the string and/or wire from masks to saw through hard and soft plastic furniture. As a point of reference and discussion for families, we are including some of the damage that we’ve already seen and the consequences that will be enforced if any of our students choose to participate. This notification will be considered a clarification of expectations. If a student participates in any of the irresponsible or illegal activities being shared via social media, they will be subject to school and legal consequences.
Destruction of school property (up to $500)…Up to 3 days of in-school suspension, and repayment to cover the cost of damage ($50 per chair)
