Social Media

Middletown City School District strives to foster a community of open communication and constructive dialogue. The purpose of our social media channels is to build community and celebrate our schools, students and staff. To create a safe and welcoming environment, we reserve the right the delete comments or posts that are profane, obscene, offensive, misrepresentative or that identify individuals in a potentially detrimental manner.

Participants should not expect responses to every question or comment posted. We encourage you to contact your child's school or the district administration office.

The following are our terms of use regarding social media interaction.

We will hide comments when:
1. Users participate in name-calling
2. Comments fail to show proper consideration for others’ privacy, or are considered likely to offend or provoke others (i.e. arguments or inflammatory debates)
3. Users repeatedly post the same comment or comments that are deemed to be advertising or promoting a service or product not endorsed by the district.

We will delete comments when:
1. Comments specifically identify students and/or staff in defamatory, abusive, or generally negative terms
2. Comments violate copyright and fair use laws
3. Comments are abusive or include inappropriate language or statements. This includes remarks that are racist, homophobic, and/or sexist
4. Users post an Emoji that is deemed inappropriate
5. Comments include profanity, or simulated profanity. Inserting symbols, such as *** is not permitted and will be removed
6. Your comment incites violence
7. Your comment encourages breaking the law or encouraging others to do so

We will ban users if comments:
1. Are repeated, frequent violations of the above
2. Endanger others.
