Bowling Green City Schools (BGCS) maintains social media accounts to connect with prospective families, current families, students, alumni, and community members within our district. BGCS social media pages focus on celebrating and supporting our schools, students, and staff as well as sharing important news and event information with our community. While social media provides a valuable method of quickly providing information directly to the public, it is a unique forum that requires special attention and guidelines. BGCS is committed to maintaining a respectful environment that shares correct information.
We encourage you to visit frequently for news and updates. Our first priority is to protect students, staff and community members. Comments and/or posts that do not follow this comment policy may be removed.
BGCS will make reasonable efforts to monitor and/or moderate content posted on its social media platforms; however, we cannot always respond in a timely manner as it is not monitored 24/7. If an individual has a question they want to have answered, they should reach out through traditional communication channels. Building and department phone numbers and email addresses can be found on the school district website: https://www.bgcs.k12.oh.us/ If there is an emergency, contact 911.
