SPS Communications
Who to Contact
Media Requests
Any requests from local, national or international media for an interview OR if media shows up on your campus, forward the request or send an email to SPSMedia@seattleschools.org
Communication Tools
It is our goal to ensure families, staff, community members and the media receive accurate and timely information.
Email Messages
Emails will be used to share updates from principals, messages regarding school events, and school community updates.
Robo-calls
Recorded phone messages will be used for urgent or emergency notifications and attendance calls to parents/guardians.
Text Messages
Talking Points text messages provides schools the option to easily communicate with families in their home language via text message.
Talking Points messages can be automatically translated into more than 110 home languages.
Teachers and school staff can message individual student’s families, entire classes, and the school community (school admins are able to send to the school community).
Peachjar
The district uses Peachjar to share digital flyers.
This platform enables us to share district and community flyers while saving our schools time, money, and paper.
SPS approved digital flyers will be sent out to families by email and published on the school and district website. No action is required to begin receiving this communication from your school.
Websites
Websites serve an important purpose to provide information, updates, and upcoming events for each school. All SPS websites are responsive, meaning the website adjusts to fit any screen size, including small screens like tablets and cellphones.
