During the week ending February 12th, over 32,000 parents or caregivers responded to a Pulse Check™ with their parent praise and insights. We hope seeing the trends last week was a helpful experience for you all. We will be sharing these collective insights from parents across the country each week. Take a look at an overview of trends of praises and insights from families across the country.
Last week, 73% of parents responded that they were happy with their child’s school, with the remaining saying they were mostly happy or not happy with their child’s school.
We saw a few themes across the country:
- praise for school staff members and the hard work they are doing during this time
- feedback and comments about school reopening plans and future or current COVID safety protocols
- requests for academic support for students who are struggling or could benefit from one-on-one support
- families of students with an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) shared that they needed more support for their children
- desire for updates on academic progress, current grades for their child, and requests for progress reports
Here are a few suggested tools and resources based on what we are hearing.
