Real-World Success Stories
Detailed case studies showcasing how schools have transformed their digital presence and achieved remarkable results with SchoolBlocks solutions.
Larkspur-Corte Madera School District
Client since 2025
A collaborative rollout that delivered stability, support, and real results.
The Priority
Larkspur faced multiple challenges with their former website: it was difficult to manage, hard for users to navigate, and required costly trainings. Support was limited, and the system lacked the user-friendliness the district needed. They sought a website solution that prioritized stability, collaboration, and responsiveness.
Why SchoolBlocks
SchoolBlocks brought a true partnership mindset—agile, attentive, and aligned with district goals. Instead of a one-size-fits-all implementation, the team tailored the rollout, migration, and support to Larkspur's specific needs.
Implementation Approach
A phased rollout engaged key district stakeholders, with clear ownership of content migration and practical, hands-on training. All processes were documented to support internal capacity.
Early Results
Faculty feedback highlighted meaningful improvements:
- Exceeds expectations for ease of use
- Simple permissions and user management
- Smooth Google syncing
- Easy page creation and updates
- Strong feed integration with ParentSquare
- Modern, aesthetically pleasing design
Partnership Next Steps
Ongoing check-ins and iterative improvements to ensure the platform evolves with district needs rather than locking into a rigid model.
Aspen School District
Client since 2022
Urgent updates made simple
The Situation
A heavy snow day hit Aspen, but Aspen School District struggled to publish timely alerts through its website. Without a quick and reliable way to communicate closures, some students and parents still arrived at school only to find it closed.
Even after investing in additional training, staff found the existing system too complex for fast updates. The district needed a platform that was simple, intuitive, and easy for everyone to use.
Why SchoolBlocks
Aspen selected SchoolBlocks for its simplicity, Google integration, and built-in notifications system. The platform's streamlined admin interface works the same on desktop and mobile, empowering authorized staff to publish alerts directly from their phones in just a few steps.
Early Outcomes
- More efficient trainings, resulting in more staff confident in posting updates
- Faster notification of closures and delays
- Less reliance on specialized web staff
- Clearer, more consistent notification formatting
Operational Simplicity
Consistent interfaces across devices and reduced publishing steps simplified workflows and lowered training needs. Urgent updates became routine rather than stressful.
Community Response
Families reported greater confidence in receiving timely, accurate information — especially during weather-related events like snow days.
Ramona Unified School District
Client since 2017
From complicated to intuitive: RUSD's shift to a more responsive web experience.
The Situation
Ramona Unified School District (RUSD) in Southern California needed a modern, flexible website solution. The district's team recognized that their website system was not optimized for ease of use, community engagement, and timely updates. With diverse stakeholders — students, parents, staff — RUSD required a platform that could scale, integrate with their existing tech stack, and make content management easier for non-technical staff.
Why SchoolBlocks
RUSD selected SchoolBlocks for many reasons: its ease of use on the frontend and backend, modern design, reliable support and deep integration with Google tools. The flexibility of their SchoolBlocks site enabled the district to empower a wider range of staff to create and update web content.
Implementation Approach
Collaboration & Partnership: SchoolBlocks worked closely with RUSD leadership to understand their needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all deployment.
Training & Support: The district received tailored onboarding and ongoing support, allowing their team to gain confidence in content creation and management.
Ownership & Capacity: By enabling district staff (not just web admins) to author and manage site content, RUSD built internal capacity and reduced dependency on external web developers.
Early Outcomes
- Staff and district leaders report significantly improved usability and flexibility
- Decreased reliance on technical web staff as other departments can now contribute content
- Responsive support to help answer questions, fix problems and find solutions
- Google integration makes it easy to manage and organize information and files
Operational Simplicity
Consistent, mobile-responsive design and simple page builders make site updates more intuitive. This helps RUSD keep their website fresh, relevant, and aligned with evolving district priorities — without overburdening their tech team.
Community Response
Positive feedback on how the new site structure supports better communication with students, parents, and staff. The improved design and ease of use are helping RUSD deliver a more modern, reliable web presence.
Partnership Next Steps
RUSD continues to evolve its website in partnership with SchoolBlocks. Future plans include building out microsites for different departments, leveraging Google integrations further, and continuing iterative improvements based on stakeholder feedback. The district's long-term goal is to grow its internal web capacity while maintaining high standards for usability and engagement.
