what our clients are saying
“The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely difficult on families, students and for school district personnel. Being able to share information, challenges and successes has created a community of communication professionals that is closer and more helpful to each other than ever. Thank you ESD 112 for all you do.”
“I just wanted to say a quick thank you for organizing the calls, supplying the agendas, providing resources and the wrap ups. Especially, as a relatively new person to the education communications world, these resources and talks have been really helpful. Once again, thanks for all that you are doing. I appreciate it.”
“After publishing our annual report, I was excited and blown away at all Communications helped us accomplish. Our work simply could not be done without your incredible talent, guidance and contributions. You continuously make things better and take our ideas to the next level.”
“As a communicator in a smaller district in the region, sharing the work of creating great messages, translating documents, and anticipating questions we needed to be able to answer during the COVID-19 pandemic was a huge support. The shared resources were much better than we could have created working by ourselves, and have garnered praise from our school board, district leadership, and district families.”
