COMMUNICATIONS
Successful school districts recognize that a high level of communication with students, parents and their communities enhances their efforts to provide a quality education. The IMESD Communication Department supports our component school districts by providing strategies to meet communication goals and reach targeted audiences.
Our communication team provides general communications, media relations, school event coverage, website management, social media support, Crisis Flight Team and weather delay/closure notifications. We understand that each of our school districts has its own communication needs.
