“Last year we began implementing Possip as a tool to promote communication opportunities with our parents. Throughout the year parents receive text messages asking a simple question such as “how satisfied are you with the school?” Parents are able to answer the questions on their phone through text and provide feedback on what they like and suggestions on what improvements could be made.
The transition from an annual parent survey to an ongoing model of collecting feedback from our parents allows for genuine insight regarding the perception of parents, the opportunity to pivot when needed and promotes a culture of inclusion with the parents we serve.”
— Superintendent, Texas School District

Duval County, KIPP Jacksonville
KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools of Florida has been a Possip Partner since 2021. In the 2023-24 school year, they began sending Attendance Checks by Possip twice a month as one of their strategies to help the district meet state requirements to show communication and outreach to families of chronically absent students. They took a tiered approach where they first contacted all students who were absent 20 or more days. School social workers or administrators connected with those families. Toward the end of the year, they moved away from the number of days absent to those students missing a certain percentage of days.
They used Attendance Checks to simultaneously:
1) Share the district and state goal of students being in school 95% of the time,
2) Contact families with students who were not hitting that mark, and
3) Toward the end of the year, they added an option for families to indicate that they needed support. So, for example, the district knew the kids who have been sick and missing days, but how could the district support the family to help get them back to school?
The strategy proved effective for KIPP Jacksonville and they will again send Attendance Checks in addition to Pulse Checks in the coming school year as one way to reach some of their most vulnerable families.
Long Form Surveys
Possip’s Long Form Surveys allow for in-depth feedback on various aspects of the district experience. Delivered via Possip’s system, they help support strong response rates and accessibility for your diverse district population.
