UPrep - Seattle

l, social media platforms present opportunities to participate in meaningful local, national, and global conversations and connect with wider audiences than otherwise possible. The immediacy and reach of social media can also present certain risks and challenges. Below are guidelines on how the UPrep Marketing & Communications Office manages our school-sanctioned accounts. We also offer guidelines for student and employee social media use, which can be found in the Veracross portals. Please contact [email protected] with any questions. Content on the UPrep Social Media Channels:

The UPrep Marketing & Communications Team is responsible for collecting, curating, and sharing content on our social media channels. We share stories about UPrep community members that are directly connected to the school’s academic program and campus activities (i.e.: UPrep’s award winning mock trial team, jazz ensemble, or state championship baseball team). We may also share content that highlights individual student and alumni accomplishments where it highlights young adults who are living out the UPrep mission to be intellectually courageous, socially responsible citizens of the world. Please send content suggestions to [email protected]. Responding to Comments:

All comments or direct messages posted or sent to UPrep social media accounts will be responded to within 24 hours during the school week and within 48 hours on the weekend. Privacy Protection:
