with all stakeholders. The District’s Communications Department is committed to providing information
by utilizing media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, the local newspaper, school/district marquees,
direct calls, text messaging, emails, letters, posters and flyers. Through these platforms, the District informs
the community about student academic and extracurricular competitions and achievements, new policies
and procedures, special events and fun activities at each of our 25 campuses.
