May 12, 2023, marks National School Communicators Day, a day to recognize the crucial role that school communicators play in keeping communities informed about education and the important work being done in schools.
School communicators are responsible for sharing information about school news, events, and achievements with parents, students, staff, and the wider community. They use a range of communication channels, including e-newsletters, social media, websites, and press releases, to keep everyone up to date on what's happening in the classroom and beyond.
National School Communicators Day is an opportunity to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of school communicators, who are often unsung heroes in their schools and communities. It is a chance to recognize the important role they play in promoting the success of schools and students.
The Victoria Independent School District (VISD) Communications Department, an award-winning team, is an example of the important work that school communicators do. The VISD Communications department has received numerous awards for its innovative and effective communication strategies, including the Texas School Public Relations Association's Gold Star Award and the Crystal Certificate of Merit.
Additionally, the Executive Director of Communications and Public Relations for VISD, Ashley Scott, was named the 2022 TSPRA Rookie of the Year. This prestigious award is given to a newcomer to the field of school public relations who has demonstrated exceptional talent and dedication to the profession.
On this day, schools across the country will be celebrating their school communicators by recognizing their contributions and thanking them for their hard work. Parents, students, staff, and community members are encouraged to join in and show their appreciation for school communicators in their schools.
School communicators are an integral part of the education system, and National School Communicators Day is a time to celebrate their contributions and recognize their importance. Let's take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work and dedication.
