Haywood County Schools
Social Media Best Practices and Procedures
The purpose of Haywood County Schools (HCS) social media accounts is to increase communication between school and home and provide the community with pertinent news and information regarding our students and schools. In an effort to maintain consistency across all platforms, schools should use the following guidelines when addressing social media use at your site.

Primary School and System Accounts:
Primary School and System Level accounts will be aligned to the website where notifications will be pushed from the school website directly to a social media account.
School Owned Accounts:
School Owned accounts will be created by HCS or the school, not individuals, and will represent the school and the organization they are highlighting. School owned accounts allow for easy transitions between staff members.
Professional Accounts:
Professional accounts will be created by the end user and will represent the end user. These accounts represent Haywood County Schools and the school where the end user is employed.
Personal Accounts:
Personal accounts will be created by the end user and will represent the end user. These accounts do not represent Haywood County Schools or the school where the end user is employed.
