Welcome to the Office of Communications at Modesto City Schools! Our office is committed to providing the community with open, accurate, and timely information about our schools, programs, students, and staff.

We understand that clear communication is essential to maintaining healthy relationships. These relationships are the foundation of a strong, public school district.

• ParentSquare

• District and school websites

• Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn)

• Bi-weekly employee newsletters

• Board of Education meeting recognitions

• District award ceremonies and events

• Traditional local media

• Community Flyer Distribution
