Communications & Community Engagement

About our Department

In the Medford School District, we believe providing clear communication; soliciting and listening to feedback; and engaging staff, students, families and our community is crucial to student success. 

The Communications and Community Engagement Department collaborates with schools and departments to ensure staff, students, families, and community partners are informed and provided regular opportunities to be part of the school experience.

Communications and Community Engagement staff plan family and community events, report district and school news, work with news media to spread the word about our schools, create materials to provide equitable access to school experiences, and more. 

We would like to celebrate our amazing students and the innovative work of our educators. If you have a story you’d like to share, feel free to reach out to us at msd.communications@medford.k12.or.us. You may see your story featured on the district website or social media pages!
