COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT

                

Welcome

Welcome to the VUSD Communications Department webpage. Founded in April 2019, the Communications Department is currently working hard to analyze VUSD communications and develop process and procedures that will ensure consistent, transparent, and clear communications as the District moves forward. 

The Communications Department is dedicated to providing information in a timely, effective manner. We use a variety of traditional and digital methods to keep our students, staff, families, and community partners informed.

We are available for questions and concerns at any time and welcome your input. Press inquiries should be directed to Marieanne Quiroz, Communications Coordinator at 805-641-5000, ext. 1019 or marieanne.quiroz@venturausd.org. We will ensure that you receive the information or source needed.
