Social Media Account Registration Form

We encourage all community members to engage with each other through independent social media accounts for MUHSD school sites, programs, athletics, and departments. These accounts must be approved by the Communications Department, and all posts and comments on these accounts are public record. Please complete and return this form to the Communications Department. The MUHSD’s Communications Department will send you an email with the approval of the account.

Since many staff have social media accounts that do not represent their school or program but represent them or their classrooms. If your account meets at least one of the following criteria, it must be registered with the Communications Department:

The account is connected to your school-provided email.
The account’s primary purpose is to promote your classroom, a club or team you sponsor, your school, or the district.
The account is used to discuss official school updates and to share information on behalf of the district, school, class, club, team, etc.

If you have any questions, please reach out! The Communications Department would like to discuss any of your questions or comments as you work to build community and engagement.
