Additional Language:
Social Media
Staff members are highly encouraged not to establish online
relationships with students using social media (including texting) in
any manner. Students below the age of 13 should not have social
media accounts anyway and staff members are expected to
maintain professional contact with students at all times. Accepting
invitations to non-school related social networks from students under
the age of 18 is strongly discouraged, and on a case-by-case basis,
may be prohibited on the Mabton network by the network
administrator.
