The Communications and Community Relations team coordinates news coverage of UCPS and oversees all communications between the district and news media.

The Communications and Community Relations Office serves as a liaison between UCPS and community, parent and business organizations. Our office seeks to build partnerships to strengthen parent and community engagement.

Family engagement is the active participation of parents and caregivers in the education and well-being of their children. It fosters collaboration between families and schools, ensuring children receive support both at home and in their learning environments.
