We look forward to tonight's STEAM event that begins at 6pm and ends at 8pm. We are excited for the hard work our students and teachers have done in preparation for this night! We hope to see everyone there for a fun-filled evening celebrating the creativity of artists and the innovation of scientists!.

The link to the class placement questionnaire for the 2025-2026 school year can be accessed here. We apologize for the broken link last week. We welcome your feedback to share some overall knowledge of your student and her/his unique traits. The class placement process is approached very carefully and thoroughly, and we consider the academic and social needs of each student. Thank you for your input!

Lastly, we are aware of a recent TikTok trend that challenges students to physically damage their school-issued Chromebooks. This “Chromebook Challenge” encourages students to purposefully cause their devices to short out or catch fire by jamming metal/lead into the charging or USB port or stabbing the battery. Students might think that this behavior is a harmless joke or prank, but it's dangerous, and we are asking for your help in preventing it here in FCPS.

Please speak to your students about the consequences of this TikTok challenge, which include:

• Fire, injury, and damage to FCPS property.
• Lost access to schoolwork and online resources.
• Disciplinary measures as outlined in our Student Rights and Responsibilities handbook. 

Please also note that families may be responsible for the repair or replacement costs for student-issued devices that are deliberately damaged. 

We appreciate your partnership in keeping our students and school safe, and we're looking forward to a strong finish to the school year here at Laurel Hill. Please reach out to anyone on our administrative team if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
