Communications

The Communications Department at Waconia Public Schools is committed to keeping residents informed about how our students are exploring their passions and creating their success each and every day. There are a number of ways for our residents, parents, volunteers, students and staff to stay engaged. We concentrate on sharing stories in hopes of providing some insights into all of the great learning and growth happening in our schools. 

Wildcat Media Productions is team of students who play an important role in helping the district share stories. Such as, interviewing Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph when he came to Waconia Middle School during the Pennies for Patients campaign. They also work with Superintendent Pat Devine on his monthly video blog. Students operate just like a mini television newsroom by identifying stories, researching, developing and then getting them produced. See their work, including all of Superintendent Devine's video blogs, by clicking the link.

There are so many great stories to share, such as, Alexis Stotko getting her poem published. Read her story and all of the other stories about the impressive things our students are doing.
