Keeping you Informed
The Johnston Community School District has multiple channels for keeping our audiences informed and involved. Whether it’s a weather-related cancellation or finding out the latest updates via Facebook, district communications are an increasingly important tool for helping families, students, visitors.
The communications department serves internal and external audiences, overseeing the district social media accounts, maintaining the district website, and creating district-wide online and printed publications. The communications department is proud to offer a multitude of ways audiences can connect with the district that best meets their needs.
