Given the explosive growth and expansion of “social networking” technology such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. and related resources such as blogs and other web-based discussion forums across all areas of modern life, students of Evangelical Christian School may be held accountable for their actions related to any and all internet interactions according to the agreed upon conduct policy found in the Parent/Student Handbook (see Student Conduct Agreement). Any interactions with social media by an ECS student which appears to be contrary to the ECS code of conduct may result in disciplinary action and or dismissal. Interacting online with a person or group, in its essence, is no different than interacting with someone face-to-face (i.e., students are required to maintain the principles of a Christ-like character).
Posting, “Liking’, or Reposting/Retweeting activities that do not follow the school handbook are also in violation.
