Communications & Public Engagement
The Communications Department is dedicated to advancing the district's mission, particularly by fostering Family and Community Partnerships. We engage families and the community as essential partners in the educational journey.
Our department manages all forms of communication, including the website, social media, mass notifications, and print and electronic publications. We also handle media relations to ensure effective and consistent communication with the community.
