During the week ending February 19th, over 19,000 parents or caregivers responded to a Pulse Check™ with their praise and insights. We are seeing similar trends over the weeks in feedback topics from families across the country.
Last week, 71% 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. Below are a few themes from families across the country:
- praise for the dedication of all school staff members and teachers
- questions around school reopening decisions and a desire for schools to communicate their rationale
- continued requests for academic support for students and more communication around grade updates
- support with technology needs and troubleshooting virtual learning programs, along with questions about virtual learning attendance errors
Here are a few suggested tools and resources based on what we are hearing.
