This was forwarded to me today. It was sent to parents through the admin alert system. In response to recent postings on social media by an individual who teaches at Immaculata High School, it is important to understand that the opinions reflected in these posts do not in any way represent the philosophy, mission or student experience of this high school. We are dedicated to creating a school environment that promotes mutual respect and provides a challenging academic program, rooted in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The school takes this situation very seriously. As a result, we took immediate action and mandated that the teacher involved permanently de-activate her public Facebook page, which she has done. Through our investigation, we have determined that the information posted on this social media page has not been reflected in the curriculum content of the classes she teaches. To prevent this from happening in the future, we are reviewing our Social Media Policy with all faculty and staff members to reinforce the established guidelines and promote a clear understanding on acceptable use of social media for those whom we employ. It is the policy of the school that all faculty and staff demonstrate respect and sensitivity to all people at all times and to avoid offending any individuals or groups. Our faculty and staff have a responsibility to uphold all school policy and maintain the same level of professionalism online as in the classroom.
