Family Handbook 2019-20

● Monitor regularly all content you or others post to your social media accounts and remove immediately anything that is inappropriate and require others to remove immediately any undesirable content related to you. ● Recognize that many former students have online connections with current students and that information shared between faculty / staff and former students is likely to be seen by current students as well.

Procedures

● Respect the privacy and confidentiality of information pertaining to students, parents, faculty, staff and other members of the Havergal community. Postings in personal blogs or websites should not reveal confidential information about any member of the Havergal community. This includes personal information, photographs or videos of students, faculty, staff, financial information, Havergal plans, marketing materials or Havergal development information. ● Be transparent and authentic. Use your professional identity at all times. Faculty / staff who use social media for school purposes must do so using their own name or the name of the course, not a pseudonym or nickname. ● Consider whether any posting may reflect poorly on you, Havergal or the teaching profession. Social media sites should not be used to denigrate, attack, threaten or intimidate colleagues. Similarly, avoid online criticism about students, colleagues, Havergal or others within the school community. ● Ensure that your comments do not incite others to make discriminatory, harassing or other professionally unacceptable comments. ● Ensure that you are aware and comply with Havergal’s Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement and other policies regarding the use of social media / online communications and the appropriate use of electronic equipment.
