Family Trends from Week Ending February 5th

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.

• How to Write An Email With Feedback to a Teacher: (This could be used for feedback on attendance tracking or grade communication) https://possip.com/teacher-feedback-email/
