Engaging in meaningful and respectful discussions on social media is a valuable way for our school community to connect, share ideas, and stay informed. Our social media platforms are an extension of our school community so we ask all members of our community to adhere to the following guidelines when participating in social media conversations:
- Respectful Communication: Please communicate with respect, kindness, and empathy. Treat others’ opinions and viewpoints with consideration, even if you disagree. Avoid using offensive language, personal attacks, or any form of bullying. Be polite!
- Avoid Disruptive Behavior: Do not engage in disruptive behavior such as spamming, trolling, or inciting conflicts. We encourage healthy discussions that contribute positively to our school community.
- Privacy and Confidentiality: Respect the privacy of individuals and avoid sharing sensitive or private information in your comments. Remember that social media is a public platform.
- Use Appropriate Language and Tone: Ensure your language and tone are appropriate for a school setting. Refrain from using profanity, offensive language, or any content that may be considered inappropriate.
- Ask Questions: Feel free to ask questions or seek clarification if you’re unsure about something. Engaging in thoughtful dialogue can help everyone better understand various perspectives.
- No advertising: Unauthorized advertising, business solicitation, promotional items, “spam” or junk mail will be removed.
- Flag Inappropriate Content: If you come across a comment that violates these guidelines, please flag it or report it to the appropriate administrators. We appreciate your help in maintaining a positive online environment.
To ensure the well-being of all participants and maintain the integrity of our social media platforms, we have established the following consequences for individuals who do not adhere to our social media guidelines:
- Comment Removal: In cases where a comment violates our guidelines but does not warrant severe action, the comment may be promptly removed by our administrators. This helps to maintain the quality and tone of the conversation.
- Warning: If a user repeatedly violates our social media guidelines, they may receive a warning from our administrators. This warning will serve as a reminder to follow the guidelines and engage respectfully.
- Ban: Persistent or severe violations of our social media guidelines may result in a permanent ban from our platforms. This action is taken to protect the well-being and experience of our school community members.
For questions regarding our social media guidelines or to report abuse, please contact our communications office at communications@mohon.neric.org
Photo Opt-Out Policy
The Mohonasen District frequently shares stories, videos, and photos of staff and students on its website and social media channels (Facebook and Instagram) so that our community can get a firsthand look at the teaching and learning that happens inside our school buildings.
If you would like to opt your child(ren) out of appearing in videos and photos used on the district website and social media channels, put your request in writing (email or print) and send it to your child’s building principal.
The request will then be added to the student’s files, shared with the student’s teachers, and district staff who take videos and photos.
Please note that each opt-out request lasts for one full school year. A new opt-out request will need to be submitted at the beginning of each new school year. Please don’t hesitate to contact the main office at your child’s school if you have any questions or concerns.
Opt-out requests can be sent to:
