“In the current era of school communications, enriched with so much media and technology, change has been swift and constant” (Fiore, D. J., 2022, p. 132). Communication is an integral aspect of education and has been a significant component of the educational system throughout history. The article “School Communication Systems,” discusses how the incorporation of various forms and methods of communication has been an ongoing process for the education system to adapt to changes in the communication landscape. With the increasing globalization of communication and the rapid development of communication technology, the role of communication in education has become more important than ever. The modern era of communication technology has revolutionized the way in which people communicate and interact with one another. Social media, in particular, has become the new normal in modern communication, enabling school to maintain an interactive dialogue with parents, students, and school community. Social media tools such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and webinars provide an effective platform for building relationships with a large group of people. Not only is social media necessary for practical reasons, but it is also the simplest and best tool available for sharing good news about school with parents and the school community. The technological advancement in communication tools and application establish the need for staff development and in-service training efforts to assist educators in taking advantage of the technology available to them. Ongoing staff development is essential as a new communication tools and application constantly become available. Educators must be adequately trained to utilize technology effectively to enhance teaching, learning, and communication. The article “School Communication System,” concludes by providing an open systems model of successful school leadership, which focuses on school as a complex system that is open to the environment and is impacted by external factors. The model emphasizes the important of school leaders being proactive in response to external challenges and the need for collaboration with stakeholders. It also highlights the importance of creating a positive school culture that supports teachers and students. As well as the need for continuous professional development, learning, communication, and improvement.
