Communications resources
How to Get Your Info Communicated in PTA channels:
Please email a short blurb of key information with relevant signup links to easleypta@gmail.com
**Please note in order to make it into the Principal’s weekly report, all information must be to Erin Medlyn by noon on Thursday.
**Please designate if a volunteer opportunity is for PTA members only when you send the blurb.
**Special voicemail/email messages not included in the Principal’s report will be determined on a case-by-case basis and the text must also be translated into Spanish prior to dissemination.
**Flyers will be created by the committee leading the work and must also be translated into Spanish prior to dissemination.
After your event or activity, please send photos to easleypta@gmail.com, so we can share it on Facebook, the PTA website and in our quarterly newsletter.
Standing rules: Media policy (Adopted by PTA members)
No photos in which children are identifiable can be generated as a post in PTA-specific communications. Photography featuring children must be shot from behind the student or at a wide-enough angle that children cannot be identified.
You may show photos of adults that are identifiable (volunteers, teachers, staff, etc). It is best practice to ask if it’s OK to take the photo and explain you plan on sharing it. You may also show details like cute teacher appreciation bags, etc.
No PTA channels can be used to promote a business or services unless the communication is about PTA fundraisers.
No PTA channels can be used to advocate for or endorse political candidates.
Hate or derogatory speech will not be permitted on the PTA Facebook page. Any such comments will result in the user being blocked from the page. PTA channels are also not places to air grievances about school administrators, other PTA members or elected officials.
Please remember if you are posting about PTA activity in your own social channels, you are representing the PTA. Please take care to not post about details that would be considered private to our community – for example, sharing security details about events that might be discussed in meetings. If you have a question about whether or not something is public, please don’t hesitate to ask a PTA officer or committee chair.
