Notice of Vandalism
English
Recently Aberdeen School District has sustained considerable damage from students that seem to be meeting a challenge as identified on TikTok as the “devious lick challenge.” Our restrooms have had the soap dispensers torn off the walls, Urinals and faucets have been destroyed, doors have been slammed into walls causing excess damage, bathroom tiles have been etched, toilets have been filled with items that plugged them so badly that they have had to be removed. Feces have been smeared on the walls, paper towels have been removed from dispensers and thrown in toilets and around the restroom and red food dye has been placed on the white toilets which has made it difficult and, in some cases, impossible to get out.
The patrons of Aberdeen School District have provided our schools the means to have beautiful schools for our students to attend. Aberdeen School District has had inspectors that inspect schools nationally indicate that we are the best maintained building they have seen nationwide. It is very disheartening to see that anyone would destroy our building as a challenge or a prank. The damage that has been done is very costly and must stop. We are asking anyone that has any information as to who is doing this damage to contact the district office at (208) 397-4113 or any building office.

Recientemente, el Distrito Escolar de Aberdeen ha sufrido daños considerables por parte de los estudiantes que parecen ser parte de un desafío identificado en TikToc como el “desafío de lamer tortuoso”. Nuestros baños han tenido los dispensadores de jabón arrancados de las paredes, los urinarios y los grifos han sido destruidos, las puertas se han estrellado contra las paredes causando daños excesivos, los azulejos del baño han sido grabados, los inodoros se han llenado con elementos que los obstruían tanto que se han remoto. Se han manchado heces en las paredes, se han retirado toallas de papel de los dispensadores y se han tirado en los inodoros y alrededor de los baños y se ha colocado colorante alimentario rojo en los inodoros blancos, lo que dificulta y, en algunos casos, imposibilita la limpieza.
Los patrocinadores del Distrito Escolar de Aberdeen han proporcionado a nuestras escuelas los medios para tener hermosas escuelas a las que puedan asistir nuestros estudiantes. El Distrito Escolar de Aberdeen ha tenido inspectores que inspeccionan las escuelas a nivel nacional, lo que indica que somos el edificio mejor mantenido que han visto en todo el país. Es muy descorazonador ver que alguien destruiría nuestro edificio como un desafío o una broma. El daño que se ha hecho es muy costoso y debe detenerse. Le pedimos a cualquier persona que tenga información sobre quién está causando este daño que se comunique con la oficina del distrito al (208) 397-4113 o con cualquier oficina del edificio.

Thank You!
It took a village! Thanks goes to everyone who supported the school district as we worked to serve the students attending Aberdeen School District. Students have almost completed a full year of school during the Covid-19 Pandemic. While some students attended classes via the Internet, many students attended physically. Illness did occur, but through it all, the faculty, staff, and students worked through the issues victoriously with the help from their parents and family members.
From the beginning of the pandemic, all faculty and staff working at Aberdeen School District physically attended work each day. The buildings were sanitized each day, breakfast and lunch was taken to students that signed up for delivery each day. Weekly assignment packets were prepared for students to take home if students didn’t have the Internet at home. Faculty members learned how to teach remotely in a very short period of time. Parents and students also needed to learn how to access classroom instruction through their personal computers. All in all, it was a work in progress, but through the help of families and educators our students received academic instruction each day.
Although academics was our main emphasis during the pandemic, we understand that development of the full child is very important. Extra-curricular activities needed to be provided. Again, with the help of community members, faculty and staff, Aberdeen School District found a way to serve our students. A special thanks goes to a dedicated school board that worked tirelessly trying to provide the needs of the individual student while keeping compliant with the mandates of the new federal and state laws. Every meeting with the school board focused on what was best for the students of the district. Personal and political feelings had to be set aside to assure the students were served in the best way possible. Yes, it took a village and together the students of Aberdeen School District received the best education possible during the most trying of times.
