How We Do It

Unlike traditional public relations agencies, the Rockland BOCES Communications Service goes beyond just sending a press release or postcard. Our cost-effective campaigns are designed to educate, inform and generate excitement through creative and strategic placements in targeted media, including digital, print and video. We strategize to help you break through the clutter and engage your audience.

Our team of messaging experts is focused on strengthening the connections between public schools and local families, students, staff, partners and community members. We believe that, through effective communication, school district leaders can build a high level of trust within their communities.

Everything we create and recommend is guided by clear principles that ensure school communications are usable, understandable and accessible to all members of the community.

Participation in the Communications Service, at any level, is eligible for BOCES aid, and aid is not limited by FTE.
