VASD on Social Media

Social Media Guidelines

VASD social media accounts are managed by VASD Communications and school staff. These accounts highlight the communities and relationships built in our schools, where everyone belongs and is welcome. We want to celebrate the great people and opportunities found across the district and share useful information and updates for our families.  

We have established the following guidelines for those who wish to visit or interact with VASD accounts:

Practice good digital citizenship

While we strive to engage in an open and respectful dialogue, all comments on our social media pages are at the discretion of the page administrators. We hope all visitors will conduct themselves as they would when entering our schools. Please use civility and respect when posting and sending messages, and ensure that comments are related to the subject of a post. 

Language of the following nature may be removed and/or reported: 

• Harassment 

• Discrimination 

• Explicit 

• Offensive 

• Inappropriate 

• Libelous 

• Threatening 

• Profane 

• Spam 

• Promoting illegal activity

• Promoting businesses, products, services, or politicians

• Privacy or public safety violations 

• Repetition of the same comment or substantially similar comments 

Failure to follow the above guidelines may result in action without notice to the user. This can include comments being hidden or removed and/or a user being banned, blocked or muted.

In order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, users of social media must acknowledge that they are at least 13 years old. Comments from children under 13 cannot be posted on our accounts.

Public Records

Per public records laws, comments and messages on or to VASD social media accounts could be included in a public records request.  

The Verona Area School District is committed to full disclosure and transparency in making public records available. Visit Public Records Request to learn about this process and find request forms. 

Best Methods of Contact

Communications made through VASD social media accounts in no way constitute a legal or official notice or comment to the Verona Area School District.

If you have a school- or district-related question or issue that needs to be resolved, please follow our procedure for voicing concerns and begin by contacting the school directly if your question or issue is specific to that school.
