My daughter started me a FB page for our group near the end of last school year. I post upcoming school events as well as our PTO news on it. (Including home HS football games and events at other buildings even though we are elementary) Her and I are the admins. So far we have 78 members which includes some of our students, HS students and parents. The Principle knows and no problem so far. I do post pics of the students like at our play day and such. Never thought about anyone complaining. Better check into that before I get in trouble. I Love Our FB Page!!!
I have been attempting to talk our parents into starting a FB account. The members are a little reluctant but I will show them these posts and hopefully can talk them into it! Thank you!
I created our PTO group through my Facebook account a few months back and it works wonders from posting events, messages, and links to parent/teacher volunteers. And it is a reliable source to reach out to working parents and updating them with school events and fundraisers.
And I've assigned the exec-officers as Admin so they post pictures, events, and links on the site.
We just started our Facebook page. We are only allowed to post meeting dates and times. All events dates and times. You are able to ask questions relating to a meeting or event date. We can not put pictures on the site, to protect the kids.
Only our schools parents can become a member no outside sources.
We have a group page and only make the executive board members administrators. I love the message all members feature and I can quickly send information to people. They can share with their "friends" that might not be our friends but the information can pertain to them. I post events, information, photos (although just to avoid any problems, I try to avoid children unless it's like a wide shot of the event and then you can't control that) and only tag the board members and people can tag themselves if they want.
