The purposes of the Mount Pleasant Elementary School Parent Advisory Council’s (“PAC”) social media accounts (i.e., Facebook, Signal, WhatsApp) are:

• To make parents aware of PAC and school events,
• To provide a venue to share information and ask questions about the PAC, the school, and the

broader school community, and

• To permit parents and families to connect.

Acceptable Use of the PAC’s Social Media Accounts

• Posts must be courteous, respectful, inclusive, and non-discriminatory. Hate speech, harassment, bullying, racist or similar types of posts will not be tolerated.
• Posts must abide by all applicable Vancouver School Board policies and procedures.
• Do not post unsolicited advertisements or promotions for any business or service (e.g., SPAM).Any recommendations should be related to a school or PAC activity, or in response to a request from another parent. For example, some school activities may require supplies and it is appropriate to let other parents know where you’ve found them.
• Do not post information unrelated to purposes of the social media account.
• Do not disclose or re-post conversations or personal information shared on the social media account. Please keep what is shared with the group within the group.

Any post that contravenes these guidelines will be removed by the PAC.

Individuals who negligently or repeatedly violate these guidelines will be removed or blocked from the social media account. Except in egregious situations, the individual will be advised of the inappropriate post and given a warning before they are removed from the social media account.

If an individual believes a post is not in alignment with these guidelines, they should alert the PAC President.
