Community Norms
At Wasatch Charter School, we strive to make every space—digital or in-person—a reflection of our shared values.
GROUP CHAT COMPASS (GUIDELINES FOR GROUPME USE)
We want to share a few simple reminders about using our digital community platforms. These guidelines are based on our WCS Communication Policy and the values we share as a Waldorf community.
Currently most of our classes use the GroupMe platform and it is a helpful space for reminders, coordination, and support. To keep it positive and aligned with our school’s spirit, please keep these in mind:
Before posting, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? Is it mine to share?
DO:
Be kind and purposeful in your messages
Assume good intentions
Direct concerns privately to the teacher or staff
Model respectful communication for our children
DON’T:
Gossip, vent, or speculate
Use the chat for complaints or problem-solving
Post anything you wouldn’t want shared beyond the group
By following these simple principles, we keep our digital spaces as thoughtful and respectful as our in-person ones. Thank you for helping foster a healthy, uplifting community—online and off.
Warmly,
Wasatch Charter School Administration
