At the beginning of each school year, we provide parents/guardians an opportunity to opt their child out of appearing in district media, which includes (but is not limited to): social media, website, email, app, printed newsletters and flyers, etc.

Parents are presented with this acknowledgment in Q when they are accepting the terms of their student's handbook, updating their information and receiving their child's class and bus schedules.

Should you decide that you would prefer your child to not be highlighted on district media, please email the Communications Department as well as your child’s teacher. So that we can keep accurate records of these requests, please renew this form each school year if needed.

The Exeter Township School District provides news and information about students, teachers, programs and services throughout the school year on our social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and more. It’s our goal to create a warm and friendly community for future, current and former students and their families, teachers and staff, community members and taxpayers.  

We take your right to privacy seriously: As noted and acknowledged in your student’s handbook, all parents and guardians are eligible to opt their children out of district communication, including social media, at the beginning of each school year by contacting their child’s school principal. If you do not want your child featured on a social media post that has already been published, please contact the ETSD Communications Department at communications@exetersd.org or by phone at 610-898-9589 to ask that your child’s photo or name be removed. 

Social Media Guidelines: Depending on the post, most social media comments are limited. If comments are open, we welcome diverse viewpoints and thoughtful engagement related to our social media content. We do not welcome comments that are solicitations by outside groups who post links to other sites to view content or purchase merchandise. Those comments will be automatically hidden. We also reserve the right to hide comments that:

• Threaten or personally attack students or staff
• Promote violence, discrimination or any other form of illegal or illicit activity
• Use profane, vulgar or lewd imagery or words

Whether positive or negative, almost all comments are moderated and monitored by the Communications Department to ensure these standards are met.
