2. Parents need to continually monitor their children's and their own social media pages to ensure the privacy of other people is being respected.

(a) If a minor/fellow dancer is in the picture, and/or if private photo is tagged, it must be done with the permission of the minor's parent/legal guardian/fellow student and all content must be appropriate for families.
