• Always check your post for spelling and grammar errors before publishing.
• This is a public space – you should be proud of everything that you post.

• Do not write about anyone without their permission.
• Do not post pictures of anyone without permission.

Be Safe

• Do not post any personal information on the internet.
• Use only your first name and last initial.
• Do not post a link to an outside source unless you know that the contents are safe and appropriate for school
