Social Media
Social media is a great way for our district, campuses and programs to facilitate connection, provide relevant information and celebrate the excellence of our students and staff.
Every campus in Mesquite ISD maintains a Facebook page and many of our secondary schools, sports and programs will also be found on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter). These campus accounts are maintained and monitored by members of the campus or program staff. The MISD Communication Department maintains district accounts on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Nextdoor.
We believe that we all share a responsibility to curate a safe and respectful online community. We always welcome your feedback and the opportunity to learn and improve. We encourage you to engage with our posts and welcome your comments. We simply ask that you adhere to the following community guidelines:
- Everyone belongs in Mesquite ISD, so be kind and respectful.
-
Remember that young people are watching us and setting a positive example makes a difference.
-
If you are upset about something or have questions you need answered, we encourage you to reach out directly to the appropriate person who can address your concerns.
-
Teacher and staff emails can be found on the staff directory page of your campus website.
-
Campus administration contacts can be found on the school’s website (look for the “Who We Are” or “About Us” link)
-
District department contacts can be found on the district website.
-
Dangerous or threatening content should be immediately reported directly to police, a campus administrator or through the District’s anonymous reporting system called P3.
-
In addition to these community guidelines, you will find our social media terms of use outlined below.
Thank you for partnering with us to create a positive social media experience in our community.
