We've Gone Social!

It's been a long time coming, but the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District is proud to announce that we are going social. You may wonder why EM-S ISD, a public school district, would choose to engage in social media. The basic reasoning behind our "social push" is to give the district another communication outlet to communicate with district stakeholders, as well as other individuals and/or entities interested in our school district. By engaging in social media we are hoping to engage in open, two-way communication with the EM-S ISD community and extend our conversation(s) with you.

We invite your feedback through all our social media sites (district blog, twitter and facebook) through the commenting features. Where applicable, comments will be moderated by the Communications Department. The Communications Department will use the district's social media guidelines as a basis for monitoring comments. To read our social media guidelines, click here. Simply stated, we welcome your thoughts and comments and look forward to what you have to say. However, we will not leave postings that:



  • Break the law or encourage others to do so

  • Talk about someone else’s work, reference to this person and/or provide a link to an outside page to an individual

  • Contain abusive or inappropriate language or statements. This includes remarks that are racist, homophobic and sexist as well as those that contain obscenities or are sexually explicit.

  • Easily identify students and/or staff in defamatory, abusive, or generally negative terms

  • Do not show proper consideration for others’ privacy or are considered likely to offend or provoke others

  • Are spam or are advertisements/promotion of a service or product

If there is something you would like to see us blog about or post on our sites please send it to info@ems-isd.net. Regardless of why you're here, we're glad you stopped by. Check back soon for new posts.
