Glens Falls City School District

About

This is the official Facebook page of the Glens Falls City School District, Glens Falls, New York.

Story

The purpose of the Glens Falls City School District’s Facebook page is to share important information about the district and its schools with the community. It is our goal that all users will engage in an open, meaningful dialogue that is both relevant and respectful, as we “model behaviors that are influential to the character as well as the mind.” (as quoted from the Glens Falls City Schools mission statement)

In order to accomplish this goal, please abide by the following guidelines:

• Be respectful. Personal attacks or derogatory comments aimed at specific employees or students are not permitted. Don’t make comments that goad others or pick fights. Nobody likes a bully.
• Be polite. Avoid language that is abusive or inappropriate, including remarks that are racist, sexist, sexually explicit or obscene. Profanity is not allowed.
• Be relevant. Let’s keep the conversation related to the topic at hand. Do not post comments that advertise or promote a product or service. In addition, do not use Glens Falls City Schools’ Facebook page in place of standard communication practices, such as contacting your school principal, in order to share personal issues and concerns.
• Be factual. Blatantly inaccurate or false information will be removed.

Please note that all comment postings are at the discretion of the page administrator. Please be certain that your comments are appropriate for an educational environment and for fans of all ages. The page administrator reserves the right to remove comments -- not to limit criticism, but to protect the privacy and rights of staff and students.

Mission

The mission of the Glens Falls City School District is to provide a safe, positive and stimulating environment — one that fosters self growth, a passion for continuous learning, confidence and the ability to succeed in a changing world.

We promote excellence through high expectations and evolving standards for students, staff, parents and community. The challenge is to reach one’s personal best while respecting each person’s individuality.

We make it our responsibility to be accountable for the implementation of this mission and to model behaviors that are influential to the character as well as the mind.
