HCAC notice

The athletic schedules that are on the calendar we will try to stick to but we have to be flexible and they may change because of conflicts and issues that arise during the seasons like the availability of officials, workers, or transportation not only with our school but those we are scheduled to play.

Hardin Families,
We are aware of concerning content circulating on TikTok and other social media platforms that references our schools. This social media trend, involving “Cat in the Hat” content, has affected schools in communities across the country. Much of the content we have identified appears to be AI-generated or digitally altered.
In some cases, posts have referenced specific students. When a student has been identified or referenced in this content, the District has notified the student’s family as soon as the content was identified.
Please know that the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our highest priority, and we take all concerning or potentially disturbing content seriously. School and district administrators are working closely with the Sheriff's Department to investigate the content and take appropriate precautions.
We ask families to remind students that if they see concerning or disturbing social media content, they should not engage with, share, or repost it. Instead, they should immediately report it to a trusted adult, school administrator, or law enforcement.
We also encourage families to speak with their children about responsible social media use and the impact of creating, posting, or sharing concerning or disturbing content. This includes AI-generated or digitally altered images, videos, or posts. Even when something is intended as a joke, it can create significant fear and concern within our schools and community and require substantial school and law enforcement resources to investigate.
The District will continue to monitor the situation closely and will communicate with families if any information is identified that directly impacts our schools, students, or staff.
Thank you for your continued partnership in helping us keep our schools safe.
Dr. Michael Gard
Superintendent
