Social Media Guidelines
Social media can be a powerful tool to engage with supporters, showcase our school's achievements, and build a strong community. However, it also poses potential risks if not handled carefully. We aim to ensure that our school's social media accounts are free from inappropriate content that could negatively impact our school community.
Several existing Instagram accounts exist for clubs and activities, including those from previous school years (Wilson). To avoid confusion, we ask that all clubs and activities provide their most recent Instagram accounts with Ms. Clemmons to be posted on the school website. Any official Jackson-Reed account must list Jackson-Reed (JR), JRTigers, or Tigers with the club or activity on the page (i.e., Tigersdsa- Disability Student Alliance). The bio should contain the sentence, "The official account of the (school year) Jackson-Reed (your club or activity) " All login information must be shared with the club sponsor and monitored regularly. The sponsor must approve any student posts before posting them on official accounts.
To achieve this, we kindly ask that you communicate the following guidelines to our club and activities students and anyone with access to the social media accounts:
