Social Media Policy
At Pillow Academy, teachers, students, staff, and other school community members use social networking/media (Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, You Tube, blogs, etc.) as a way to connect with others, share educational resources, create educational content, enhance the classroom experience, and network within and outside of the school community. While social networking is fun and valuable, there are some risks. Social media refers to online tools and services that allow any Internet user to create and publish content. Many of these sites use personal profiles where users post information about themselves. (Popular social media tools include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, blogs, YouTube and Flickr). ● Students should use good judgment in all situations and behave in a way t hat will reflect positively themselves and the school. .
● Regardless of privacy settings, assume that all of the information shared on any social network is public information. Online “conversations/posts” are never private.
● Students should be respectful and always treat others in a respectful, positive and considerate manner.
● Pillow Academy does not monitor social media accounts. The school has the right, but not the duty to inspect or review social media posts. Pillow Academy shall not address students’ social media post unless derogatory comments about faculty and staff are made, threats of violence during school hours or school events, or if Pillow Academy is represented in a negative light. ● PA reserves the right, but is not obligated, to take disciplinary action with any student(s) if unacceptable uses/behaviors occur outside of PA school hours, school related events, or on PA property. ● In addition, if PA believes that any information on a website, or in an email or text message, is obscene, constitutes a threat, defames, infringes on copyrights or is in any way illegal, whether directed at PA, faculty, staff, students or other, PA will be compelled to contact the appropriate authorities.
