Rules of Engagement
The Bethel School District (WA) has developed this page to share important information with our public and engage in an open and respectful dialogue. To help us accomplish this goal we ask that you abide by the following guidelines:

#1) Engage in open conversation not personal issues. This page is not intended to circumvent regular communication channels for sharing p

ersonal issues and concerns. Comments regarding a personal issue with the District, a school or staff member will be removed.
#2) Be respectful. Personal attacks or comments that are deemed offensive to any member of our community will not be tolerated. Inappropriate remarks and profanity will be removed.
#3) Want to boost your product sales? Publish a personal page, and leave ours for sharing news and insights about our District, schools and activities.
#4) Stay on topic. This is a page dedicated to the education of students in the BSD. Let’s keep the conversation related to our District, schools and activities. Comments of all kinds are welcome so long as they directly relate to our District, schools and activities.
#5) Have a question for a specific employee? Fans should not expect responses to every question or comment posted on this page.
#6) Be aware of the mission. The mission of Bethel SD is education. Please be certain that your comments are appropriate for an educational environment and fans of all ages.
#7) Be factual. Blatantly inaccurate information will not be allowed. False information will be removed and factual information will be posted.
#8) All comments and communication must come from a verifiable account. Comments made by individuals who are misrepresenting themselves, representing themselves as someone other than themselves or from unverifiable accounts, will be removed. We want you to feel comfortable sharing your views about the Bethel SD schools and our activities. Failure to comply with the above guidelines can lead to removal of a specific posting and/or the blocking/removal from our fan page.
