A School Bulletin Makeover |
|
You may have noticed that this School Bulletin is provided in a new format. This newsletter makeover is one result of a recent communications audit that the Long Beach Unified School District conducted as part of its continuous improvement efforts. The new format allows for better use of color, video, web links and more. The “Blue Bulletin,” as longtime employees know it, is a tradition spanning more than 100 years. The publication has gone through various design changes in years past. This latest design is the next step in the Bulletin’s long evolution. Feel free to let us know what you think on this Google form (district sign-in required). Thank you for reading.
