New Salem – Almont
Middle and High School
October 1
Dear New Salem – Almont Community,
As many of you are aware, there is an ongoing TikTok challenge called “Devious Licks.” This is where students are being encouraged to do various challenges at their school and then showing off what they had done via their TikTok account. Last month, New Salem – Almont (NSA) was a victim of the challenge where students were asked to vandalize school property. This challenge resulted in a pinecone plugging up the school toilets. These TikTok trends have added an increased amount of stress on the staff to repair damages. At NSA we want to be proactive and stay ahead of each trend that changes every month.
1. October: Slap a teacher on the backside
2. November: Kiss your friend’s girlfriend at school
3. December: Deck the halls and show your boobs in school halls
4. January: Jab a breast
5. February: Mess up school signs
6. March: Make a mess in the cafeteria
7. April: Grab some eggs (a theft challenge)
8. May: Ditch Day
9. June: Flip off the front off
10. July: Spray a neighbor’s fence (paint graffiti on someone’s fence)
Unfortunately, the identified trend for October is “smack a staff member on the backside” any act of physically striking a staff member with hands or objects will not be tolerated and will be dealt with through school consequences and the possibility of including law enforcement.
NSA believes strongly in our core values: respect, being on time, accepting others, and taking responsibility. These trends take away from those values and we ask that you please talk with your child about continuing to uphold our expectations. We appreciate your help in teaching our students about being responsible and respectful towards everyone.
Sincerely,
Scott Klaudt
Secondary Principal
New Salem-Almont School
Proper dress for school when cold
