Family Trends from Week Ending March 28

During the week ending March 28th, almost 14,000 responses were submitted by parents or caregivers to a pulse check with their praise and insights. We know parents and family members hear from their school after Possip pulse checks – 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, 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.

 

We saw a few themes across the country:

 

• Appreciation for schools asking families about their input and opinions on summer programming 
• Praise for teachers who have supported their children during virtual learning
• Praise for staff members that are easing the transition back to in-person learning for schools going through that process
• Requests for academic support and one-on-one tutoring for students now and over the summer
• Feedback about COVID safety measures for in-person school and summer schools, as well as input on safety protocols for general reopening plans
• Continued requests for technology support during virtual learning and feedback on making virtual learning more effective for students

 

Here are a few suggested parent tools and resources based on what we are hearing.

• Free Downloadable: Helpful Summer Resources for Parents: https://hubs.ly/H0K4rNq0 
• Free Resource: Technology Troubleshooting Checklist for Families: https://app.hubspot.com/documents/5933397/view/82309932?accessId=0b77fb 

 

We also shared these resources with our partner schools…

 

• Blog: Preparing for the Return to In-Person School: https://possip.com/back-to-the-building-preparing-for-in-person-school/  
• Blog: Tutoring Programs that Work for Your School: https://possip.com/principals-corner-tutoring-program-that-works-for-your-school-and-students/ (this was written pre-COVID, but strategies can still be adapted for virtual and in-person contexts)

 

We’d love to hear from you. What else do you want to need or see? Do these parent praise and insights align with what you see
