Snyder ISD uses social media to engage with and celebrate the achievements of students, staff, and community partners, as well as to provide parents and families with informative and timely updates. Snyder ISD’s official social media channels are open for visitors to share comments or send messages to the district. We welcome your comments and look forward to hearing from you. To restrict the District and those acting under its permission from the ability to feature your student, you must submit a letter each school year, in writing, to the SISD Administration Office within one week of registration stating that we may not release your student’s information: https://www.snyderisd.net/page/communications

All comments on Snyder ISD social media channels are monitored and maintained during regular business and school hours at the discretion of page administrators. We encourage comments that are respectful, constructive, and relevant to the topic of each post. While we welcome all viewpoints and dialogue, we are firmly committed to protecting the privacy and rights of Snyder ISD students, parents, employees, and community members.

Therefore, the district reserves the right to remove inappropriate comments that do not adhere to the following commenting guidelines:

• Comments are not allowed if they contain words that are unacceptable in a K–12 education setting.

• Comments are not allowed if they contain profanity, threatening or abusive words, vulgar language, or inappropriate language or content. This includes remarks intended to target specific ethnic, religious, racial, social, gender, or other people groups.

• Comments are not allowed if they include accusations, allegations, or personal attacks and name a specific student, parent, employee, or community member.

• Comments are not allowed if they include or expose specific and private information about a student, parent, employee, or community member, including directory information and disciplinary or personal issues. To protect your privacy and the privacy of others, please do not include personally identifiable information such as phone numbers or email addresses in your comments.

• Comments are not allowed if they include obscene, provocative, or sexually explicit language.

• Comments are not allowed if they do not pertain to the topic of a specific post made by the page administrator, including photographs or links to photographs.

• Comments are not allowed if they include spam, advertisements promoting specific services or products, direct solicitations for funds or fundraisers, or links to other sites including special offers or discounts for district employees. Should you wish to advertise or partner with the district, please contact the Director of Communications.

It is important for everyone in our community to understand that participants are responsible for what they post online. Anyone posting comments contrary to these guidelines may be prohibited from further participation on Snyder ISD’s social media channels.

Social media channels are not intended to replace all official forms of engagement with Snyder ISD. We will make every effort to respond to comments and messages, but will not be able to respond to every post. If you have pressing feedback or questions, please contact your student’s school or submit an inquiry through the district for a response from the appropriate campus or department. Members of the news media seeking responses from the district should contact the Director of Communications according to Snyder ISD media guidelines and refrain from submitting official media inquiries as social media comments.

We welcome your feedback. If you wish to report an inappropriate comment or other social media concern, contact us at questions@snyderisd.net.
