  • Don’t post student images or work samples from your personal accounts.

  • Ask yourself “would I be okay if a student or supervisor saw this?” before posting.

  • Check the opt-out forms on file for students before sharing their name, image, or intellectual property on your professional accounts.  If possible, take the extra step to seek parental permission before inclusion.

  • When representing your school, post topics of relevance to the school community.
