DCSD Communications offers a variety of creative services to our departments and schools, including graphic design, video, website design, content production, and more. We are also available to consult with you on your project to help create a clear concept and message.
Please complete the form below with as much information as possible to submit a project request. Please include the written copy for your project where indicated, if your project requires it. Once submitted, you will be contacted by a Communications staff member within two business days to confirm the project request, set a timeline, and schedule a meeting (if necessary) to discuss the scope of your project. For larger projects with multiple steps, you may also receive an invitation to Asana, which is a user-friendly project management program, so that we can communicate and collaborate with you on your project.

Please view the project completion times below for an estimate of the time it will take to complete your project. Time estimates do not include the time necessary for printing and mailing. For projects that require printing and mailing, please allow an additional 10 business days when planning your project.
Our creative production schedule begins once you have submitted the necessary copy and/or elements for the project. Please try to include all or as much information and content as possible on the project request form.
Please note that the creative team requires at least one week for every project. The production time begins when all content has been received. Projects requested to be completed in less than one week will not be accepted.
