During the week ending February 5th, over 30,000 parents or caregivers responded to a Pulse Check™ with their parent praise and insights. We know parents and family members hear from their school – but you may wonder what else is happening across the 26 states where Possip partners with schools, districts and families. Take a look at an overview of parent praise and insight from across the country.
Last week, 72% 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:
- celebrations of the above and beyond work and commitment of teachers and staff
- requests for more information and communication on reopening plans and safety protocols
- families also want increased information on student attendance and updates on academic progress
Here are a few suggested tools and resources based on what we are hearing.
