Social Media Policy

Judson ISD recognizes the importance of communicating with the public online, including through social media. The District actively utilizes social media platforms to efficiently inform, educate and distribute district wide information. The main objective is to share district wide information, highlights, event coverage, student & teacher recognitions, and accomplishments for all Judson ISD campuses and departments. Our social media platforms are the gateway of information for the district by leading efforts to provide information and inspiration to staff, students, families and the broader community.

Judson ISD Social Media Platforms 

Judson ISD has several active social media communities online including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.  We encourage the community to take a look at our social media accounts and get involved.  We appreciate open discussion and look forward to your comments, stories and experiences.  Before you post, we highly encourage that you become familiar with our polices described on this page.

For campuses and departments interested in forming or maintaining a social media presence, we offer an array of tools, including one-on-one consults to discuss social media goals and strategy, as well as offer insights and ideas. Before creating any social media account, you must check with your school’s administrator for any school specific regulations or branding guidelines.  District employees can contact Judson ISD Multimedia Coordinator, Briana Estrada, at bestrada@judsonisd.org for more information.
