Communications

The communications department strives to ensure parents and community members have easy access to current and relevant information regarding the school district.  
 
The department is responsible for maintaining district brand standards, the district website, the district social media platforms, and the automated calling and email system.  The department assists reporters from both local and national news media outlets as they cover the achievements of our students and staff members.
