Communications Mission

Allentown School District has a responsibility to inform the public of the actions and services provided by its schools and administration. The District is committed to providing timely and accurate information to its constituents so that they have a better working relationship with the District and a clear understanding of the role, objectives, accomplishments and needs of the organization as it grows and changes. Two-way communication is required to be successful in reaching growth objectives for the betterment and academic progress of ASD students.

We communicate to inform, to persuade, to recruit, to recognize, to promote attendance, to encourage parental involvement and to celebrate our achievements.
