Looking at the low scores in family engagement . . . I wonder if there is a carry over from elementary school, where school engagement tends to be much higher. Then a "letting go" happens in middle school, and the students do not want so much engagement. Maybe lower engagement is not so bad.

We try to have focused and guided conversations or some format to do so in order to determine when messaging should be universal, going out to all students/families from administration and front office, vs. messaging that goes out from grade levels, curricular areas, or an individual teacher. Ex: if we need to alert the community about something, from where and who does that messaging come from? I would like us to be more effective, purposeful and timely in how we communicate, this will help encourage and build engagement and relationships.
