Superintendent June told the Waterloo Board of Education that district leaders conducted a communications survey with 176 respondents and are expanding text messaging and weekly video updates to reach families.
"To that end, like she mentioned, we've rolled out Waterloo Wednesdays," June said, describing a weekly video she will produce "where I highlight the awesome things that are happening here at the Waterloo schools." June said the district now has two YouTube channels — one for board meetings and one for Waterloo Wednesdays — and a consolidated district Facebook and Instagram presence so families can subscribe and not miss updates.
June said the survey showed families prefer text messages as the primary channel and that the district will continue to use multiple platforms to share both routine and time‑sensitive information. Board members praised the move and noted that the communication tools help them stay informed while on the go.
