Communications and Community Services Department

Our department strives to involve and inform the community about the students, staff and school district through these distinctive programs: 

• Planned Communications—Annual Communications via various publications and reports including quarterly issues of the Lake Schools community newsletter that is mailed to all box holders in Lake Stevens; ensuring an easy access, informative website; on-going press releases; annual publication of the district calendar and handbook; and a variety of community centered events planned throughout the year. 
• Volunteer Programs—We encourage parents, community members and businesses to join our schools in providing additional support and information for our students and staff. Our department facilitates Washington State Background checks on all volunteers and coordinates with each building to provide a district-wide spring volunteer celebration to thank and honor the over 1,200 individuals that support schools every day. 

• Community Education—Classes are offered year-round for adults and students in after school, evening and summer classes and camps when students are not using the facilities. This includes the Lake Stevens High School swimming pool, which offers a comprehensive year-round aquatics program. It is our goal to offer affordable classes of interest in your local classrooms, gyms and playfields to maximize the community's access to schools. It is our board's strong belief that our schools belong to our community and every effort should be made to make our schools open and available to the community. 

• Facility Use—Our department facilitates the rental of school facilities according to district policy and procedure. All use of schools and rentals are booked and facilitated through the Communications Department with school district citizens receiving first priority after the school day, and student sports and events.  

• Distribution of Literature—The Communications Department oversees the distribution of literature throughout the district. Please contact us for additional information.
