Communications

The Communications Department services include communication and feedback methods for staff, parents, and community. These include the District website, intranet for staff, publications, calendars, long range planning, special events, school finance election information, and media relations.

The department is often a "first stop" for people seeking specific school or District information and for those wanting to share thoughts about Issaquah schools.
