<p><strong>Q. Do I need to sign up or register for this?</strong><br />
A. Absolutely not&#8230;  just tweet about your favorite events and include the @WDMCS twitter name.</p>
<p><strong>Q. What types of information and events are you looking for?</strong><br />
A.  Any school related events, highlights, or recognitions. </p>
<p><strong>Q. Are there any examples of what we SHOULD NOT tweet?</strong><br />
A.  For elementary events that take place outside of school, we do NOT want to advertise them prior to the event.  In other words, our practice is NOT to tell everyone where a group of young children will be at a certain location prior to the event.  Instead, we ask that you tweet during or after elementary events that take place outside of school.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Do you have any examples?</strong></p>
