Communications & PR

The Natick Public Schools communication strategy works to build public understanding (and support) for the District through stakeholder engagement by working collaboratively with students, parents, staff, and Natick community members.

Our communications efforts focus on consistent public and media relations, internal and external engagement and timely updates through our communications channels. We always promote excellence in education, learning in action, and highlight special events and award recognition. All of this is accomplished through: 
  • Public Relations
  • Community Relations
  • Media Relations 
  • Press Releases
  • Digital Marketing
  • Social Media
  • Family Communication
  • Public Information
  • Photography
  • Video Productions
Natick Public Schools is committed to honest, transparent and consistent communications.

The Natick brand is based on—and developed from—the experiences that our students, parents, and community members have had with us. It is built on the expectations our audiences have about the school district presently, and in the future.
