Communications & Public Relations Information
The Caledonia Community Schools Communications department is responsible for maintaining effective communications within our district as well as our community. We are the primary source for sharing the district's story through media communications, public outreach, traditional media, and electronic means. The department seeks to keep the parents and community informed of pertinent information, upcoming events, student and staff achievements, and issues impacting our district.
District Goals:
- We WILL implement a conducive and structured information exchange environment for integrating students, parents, teachers, and the administration.
- We WILL improve internal and external communication with the goal of creating open, two-way communication between the district and staff, parents, and the community.
District Mobile App
District Mobile App
We have exciting news! In an effort to better align with the organizational coherence goals in our strategic plan, we have been working hard to develop an app that families and community members can use to get information all in one mobile location. The “Caledonia Community Schools” App will keep students, parents, and staff connected, engaged, and on track for success.
The app can replace the old paper planners/agendas and contains school news, calendars, extra-curricular updates, and other school information. You'll receive notifications from the district and school(s) that you subscribe to.
The app works wherever you go - on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and tablets. You can receive notifications on your Chromebook or using a computer's web browser. If you don't have a smartphone, sign up for text messages and/or email notifications at: https://calschools.appazur.com.

Caledonia Community Schools is doing amazing things for our students and families and we want to make sure everyone knows it! Do you have an inspirational, impactful, exciting, entertaining, or encouraging story to share with your school community? Do you know of an alumnus who is doing something extraordinary?

Please fill out the form below and we'll do our best to share this with families via social media, our website, or in the Cal Communicator. If you have any questions, please contact our Communications Department (communications@calschools.org).
