Communication

Communicating effectively with stakeholders is a shared responsibility among all staff members within the Mequon-Thiensville School District. The role of the communication department is to inspire, inform, and build trust among stakeholders through effective practices and authentic two-way communication.

Communication Overview

Emergency Communication

Families are made aware of critical information such as school closings or other vital information through email or a combination of phone, email, and SMS (text) messaging.

Family members are responsible for managing their communication preferences, according to what works best for them. We cannot assume that individuals may accept emails or phone calls to employer contacts, for example. Families select or approve contact preferences annually in the online enrollment process, and can also update preferences at any time in the Campus Parent portal.
