Alexander Forbes School Official page for Alexander Forbes School. We are a K-8 school in Grande Prairie, AB. To keep our Page focused, we have set comment guidelines:

1.

We welcome your comments as a means of sharing your own experiences, suggesting improvements or joining in on the conversation. Be Kind and Courteous

Every day, we have the opportunity to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy
conversations with diverse viewpoints are natural, but kindness is required. We will delete comments not related
to the subject of the page post.

2. No Hate Speech or Bullying

Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like
race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated. Comments including but not
limited to: profane or provocative language, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive or derogatory content,
threats, and obscene or sexually explicit language will be deleted.

3. No Promotions or Spam

Give more than you take to this group - give a like or share our posts. Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links
aren't allowed. We follow all laws that govern the use of copyrights, trade secrets, etc.


4. Social Media vs. Phone and Email

Our social media accounts are not meant to circumvent regular communication channels for sharing personal
issues & concerns. While we make every effort to respond to direct questions in a timely manner, comments
regarding a personal issue with the school or a staff member will be removed. If you have a personal issue or concern and wish to share it, contact our Principal or one of our Vice Principals
directly by phoning or emailing our school. With your help, we will continue to be a place of connection, safety and respect, as we focus on celebrating student success! Our Page is moderated and all comments are reviewed by our school.
