This week all families received a request from Head of School Ron Cino to take a survey. As part of our strategic planning work, we are seeking to understand how we are known and valued in the context of the independent school landscape. We have engaged Generation, a branding and communications firm for non-profits, to help us collect and analyze opinions from our community. So that we can better understand how you view Laguna Blanca and its programs, we appreciate your help in completing this brief, confidential 10-15 minute survey.
