Communications
Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) communicates with a diverse community—including students, families, staff, partners, residents and other stakeholders. The Office of Communications helps keep information flowing to everyone who makes up, supports, and surrounds our district.
How We Communicate

In the event of an emergency, families will be notified through:
- Automated phone calls
