23 SOCIAL MEDIA GENERAL GUIDELINES Before I make a post, I should ask myself: Who will see what I post? Will anyone be offended, embarrassed, or hurt by it? Am I proud of what I am posting? How would I feel if someone posted it about me? All Cardinals need to use common sense when posting on the internet, texting, or tweeting. Any types of posts that are related to school, harmful to students or cause a disruption in school are subject to potential consequences.

24 COMMUNICATION A lot of problems in the world would disappear if we talk to each other instead of about each other. - n/a "The void created by the failure to communicate is soon filled with poison, drivel and misrepresentation." C. Northcote Parkinson **IF YOU DON T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION**
