The Faribault Public Schools Communications Department is responsible for coordinating and overseeing all district communication efforts. Our mission is to keep families and the community informed about the educational opportunities available in our schools, highlight the innovative programming happening in our classrooms, and showcase the unique ways our students excel.
We communicate with a variety of stakeholders within District 656, including students, families, staff, and community members. To effectively share information, we utilize multiple channels and platforms, including internal and external communications, program and course marketing, media relations, notifications and alerts, publications, public relations, social media, and our website. To best serve our students and families, all district communications are provided in English, Spanish, and Somali.
