Thank you to everyone who participated in our spring Parent & Caregiver Survey. The information you shared is crucial to helping us improve systems within our schools to better serve our students.
What Families are Loving
Here are some of the things families say are working well in our schools:
Caring and Supportive Staff
Families appreciate the kindness, dedication, and care shown by teachers, principals, and support staff.
Strong Communication
Tools like ParentSquare, weekly folders, and teacher check-ins are helping families stay connected and informed.
Safe and Inclusive Environment
Many families feel their children are safe, welcomed, and supported—no matter their background or needs.
Academic Growth and Support
Parents see their kids learning and growing, with teachers using different strategies to help each student succeed.
Fun and Meaningful Experiences
Families love events like talent shows, band concerts, reading nights, and PTO activities that bring the community together.
What Families Say Could Be Better
Families also shared some thoughtful ideas about how we can improve:
More Regular Updates
Families want more frequent communication from schools—especially about student progress, assignments, and ways to help at home.
Student Behavior and Discipline
Some parents are concerned about bullying and classroom behavior, and want to see clearer and more consistent consequences.
Challenge and Support for All Learners
Families want more academic challenge for advanced students and more support for those who need extra help.
Smaller Class Sizes and More Staff
Many noted that crowded classrooms and limited support staff make it harder for students and teachers alike.
Improved Facilities and Logistics
Families shared feedback about parking, playgrounds, lunch and recess times, and a need for safer walking routes and healthier meals.
Over the summer, our team will dig into this into this data to determine next steps. Thanks again to everyone who shared their thoughts, celebrations and concerns. We appreciate the time you took to complete it.
