DCSD Social Media Guidelines for Students
Parents,
It is important that our scholars represent themselves in a positive manner online and think about what they post on social media outlets. One question to always think about is, "Would my post look good to college admissions counselors or employers?" Encourage your student to assume that someone is always observing their online actions.
