Default Section

 
Over the past year CLWS began working with a consultant to develop a strategy around diversity and inclusion in our learning environment. As our students and families are our greatest asset it is important that we better understand the behaviors, values and interests that motivate you as we strategize to expand and welcome new members into our community. Please take time to complete the diversity survey by Wednesday, June 16. This is a busy time of year and I know your time is valuable. Therefore we thank you in advance for your contribution! All survey responses will be anonymous, and your privacy will be protected.
