In using social media, be aware: any written communication created or received by
Federal Way Public Schools officials and employees will be made available to the public
and media, upon request, unless otherwise exempt. If you do not want your comment and
subsequent identifying information released in response to a public-records request, do
not comment. If you do not want your email address released in response to a public
records request, do not send electronic mail to a work location or employee. The purpose of this site is to disseminate information on specific Olympic View
Federal Way Public Schools topics. Comments
posted to this web site will be monitored. The district reserves the right to delete
comments that contain vulgar language, personal attacks of any kind, or offensive
comments that target or disparage any ethnic, racial or religious groups. Further, the
district reserves the right to delete comments that are:
(1) Spam or include links to other sites;
(2) Clearly off topic;
(3) Advocate illegal activity;
(4) Promote particular services, products, or political organizations
(5) Infringe on copyrights or trademarks
(6) Use personally identifiable medical information. Commercial advertising content on this site is not controlled or endorsed by Federal Way
Public Schools. Social media are called that because they allow for interaction – for a conversation to take
place between you and your students’ parents, the community and sometimes even
students. Unfortunately, the anonymity offered online can encourage people to say things
that they might not otherwise. You’ll find it helpful to define the rules of conduct for your
page, as in the following example:
We've created our page to be an informal, quick information source
about our school district. We welcome your participation and look forward to
interacting with you here. We want the experience to be as positive as possible for all of us. So here are
some simple and, we think, fair guidelines for participation.
1. We will delete personal attacks, inappropriate remarks or
profanity on our page.
2. Be focused. This page is about the Federal Way school district and
supporting our students and staff; so let’s keep the conversation focused on
that. Business plugs, personal issues, and political banter all have a place on
Facebook – just not on this particular page.
3. Be involved. We welcome your feedback on our postings and we hope you’ll
comment when something grabs your attention. We also appreciate it when
you keep comments focused on the topic of the post. And if you have ideas
about what you’d like to see included on our page, we would love to hear from
you. We hope you’ll encourage others with a passion for education to find us
and follow us here on Facebook. That’s it! Pretty simple, right? And if you have comments or questions, just
message us.
