Communications
It is the mission of the Terrell ISD Communications Department to act as an effective liaison between the community and the school district. Specific areas of responsibility include:
MEDIA RELATIONS
The Communications Department is responsible for all media requests. During the school year, the department writes and distributes a monthly e-newsletter to school district employees, parents, media representatives, school board members, and members of the e-news group. All media inquiries should be directed to Olivia Rice, TISD Director of Communications and Marketing.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Terrell ISD posts all relevant newcomer information on the web site, www.terrellisd.org. For a campus tour, please contact Olivia Rice, TISD Director of Communications and Marketing.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
The Communications Department honors employees every spring at the annual Employee Service Recognition and Professional Achievement program. This special program recognizes employees celebrating 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25+ years of service in TISD, retiring employees, Teachers of the Year from each campus, and professional achievement recipients.
SCHOOL CLOSINGS
The district may close schools for a full day or part of a day because of bad weather or emergency conditions. Emergency notifications will be made via phone and email using Messenger. Messenger uses contact information from Infinite Campus student data records and includes email addresses and all phone numbers included as parent/guardian contact preferences. No registration is required.
TISD will also make every attempt possible to release information through the following outlets:
