It is our goal that ALL schools use social media to communicate information, showcase accomplishments, and engage a variety of audiences - from students to parents to the community. Some forward-facing district departments do, as well.

Principals and site administrators must appoint your school or department social media coordinator(s) for the current school year even if they aren’t new to the role. This appointment is essential to ensure communication is coordinated. You can add/change appointments at any time throughout the school year.

Once a coordinator is appointed, they will be added to the Canvas training that is mandatory for all OCPS social media coordinators to complete. It's short, sweet and packed full of good info. 

It is essential that social media accounts representing an entire school or department remain accessible during personnel changes. This requires specific set up and best practices, so please refer to the memo in the Deputy Superintendent's newsletter regarding Continuity of Communications for key points. 

If you haven't been able to keep continuity of communications, or have lost the login or password for your account, please contact Samantha Weiss at x200-2968 for assistance. Please note, the district does NOT keep logins and passwords for all school or department accounts, however if the accounts were set up using the best practices, we may be able to assist you in recovering access. 

For schools or departments looking to create or double-check the set-up of your social media accounts, we provide this set-up guide for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest accounts. A school or department does not need to use all of these platforms, but they are all approved for use.
