Office of Communications
Welcome to the Office of Communications (Formally the Office of Public Information)
The Office of Communications is here to provide timely and accurate information to the public, encourage parents and the community at-large to be involved in our schools, and engage all stakeholders in education issues that are important to the greater Clear Lake area.
Communication Tools We Use to Reach You!

CCISD Snapshots
Snapshots is a weekly photo album, highlighting our students and staff. The District collects hundreds if not thousands of photos throughout the school year and this is the best way that we can share them with you! If you are a member of the Current you also receive Snapshots. If you only want to receive Snapshots, make that selection when enrolling in our electronic communications: Sign up for Snapshots
