WELCOME TO THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT
The School District of Baraboo consolidates the major communication channels with the school district to better coordinate and disseminate information to our stakeholder.
Our main goal is to develop and maintain communication platforms that aid in building relationships centered on trust and transparency with those we serve.
The department is responsible for organizing and managing all district-wide communication and ensuring strategies are in alignment with our values, core beliefs, and overarching commitments. Additionally, the department is responsible for all media relations, external district-wide communications, the BSD website, print newsletters, Thunderbird Thursday (e-newsletter), managing BSD social media account, etc.
Our main mission is to maintain ongoing, open, and effective communications with our stakeholders (students, staff, families, and community members) in meaningful land-engaging ways.
