Public Relations
The Lee’s Summit R-7 School District Public Relations oversees all district efforts to provide our school community with two-way communication that builds engagement, collaboration and confidence.
In an effort to keep you informed about Lee’s Summit R-7 Schools, we communicate in a number of ways including through the district website, electronic newsletters, a district magazine, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.
Direct communication
We use our SchoolMessenger system to communicate via phone call, email and text about district information, including Inclement Weather.
