19 Key Messages Key messages are the master narrative and essence of what Rockwood needs to communicate. It s the bite-size summations that articulate: what we do, what we stand for and what value we bring to the Rockwood school community. Communication cannot always be controlled; key messages can. Messaging helps a school district do the following: Prioritize and crystallize information. Ensure consistency, continuity and accuracy. Measure and track success. Stay focused when speaking with media or our school community. Careful attention needs to be paid to key messaging. Concise: Optimally three key messages on one page; each statement only one to three sentences in length or under 30 seconds when spoken. Strategic: Define, differentiate and address benefits/value proposition. Relevant: Balance what needs to be communicated with what the audience needs to know. Compelling: Meaningful information designed to stimulate action. Simple: Easy-to-understand language; avoid jargon and acronyms. Memorable: Easy to recall and repeat; avoid run-on sentences. Tailored: Effectively communicates with different target audiences, adapting language and depth of information. 15
20 Alignment: Project Plans The Rockwood School District is committed to open, honest and ongoing communication with our school community. We understand maintaining a two-way conversation with students, parents, teachers, staff and community members is essential for building relationships. These relationships are the foundation for a strong school system. Research shows people support public schools that have an ongoing, everyday commitment to transparently and proactively communicating with their community about the important decisions in the district. Furthermore, increasing and improving communication between teachers and parents increases parent involvement and student achievement. Rockwood Communication develops communication plans that align and support Rockwood s Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP). Communication team members work with our school community to ensure that effective communication is a component of every district and school program and initiative. 16
