When Pelham Union Free School District emerged from the pandemic, Director of Communication Alex Wolff could feel a fundamental shift in how families and staff expected to receive information. What emerged from that was a transformation that reshaped not just tools and tactics, but also strategy, trust and the role of the communicator itself.

Each November, school communications offices across the country work to recognize Native American Heritage Month. That concern is valid and commendable. Good intentions matter. Thoughtful communication about Native people is possible and appreciated when it’s approached with care, accuracy and relationship.

NSPRA membership just got even more powerful. NSPRA Plus is the first-of-its-kind, AI-powered on-demand learning library built exclusively for those who plan, lead or help support school communication.

"NSPRA at 90: Stories That Shaped Us" is a seven-episode limited series podcast celebrating NSPRA’s 90th anniversary through the stories, milestones and moments that have helped define school communication over the past nine decades.

In her message to members this month, NSPRA 2025-26 President Kelly Wachel, APR, reflects on the past and future of the association.
