Specialists and Spanish jumping in wherever whenever

Trying something new, being risk-takers!

Tried something different -- providing childcare, food, and multiple locations.

Pretty good virtual turn out!

2024-03-01 13:57:21 UTC

Is virtual the best method for most families? Seemed to have the most attendance for those sessions.

Using our imaginations and thinking outside the box to remove obstacles and offer options for families!

Being open minded to change

Spanish translating slide decks and answering questions for families

Virtual is Best

2024-03-01 14:11:49 UTC

This needs to be virtual. As a parent, I can join in from my kid's afterschool activities and still get dinner on the table. Parents need and want to keep this one positive thing from the COVID experience.

2024-03-01 14:13:00 UTC

Having Spanish and Specialists present their own respective curriculums to highlight the wonderful lessons that they are contributing to students' education.

scdavis2 — 2024-03-01 14:13:56 UTC

Parents absolutely enjoyed sitting and eating in the lobby, they talked to families they had never talked with, their kids ate dinner at a table with them and then got to go interact with other students in the childcare room.

Main point: building community!

Agree about families eating together & building community

I do think it was nice to provide opportunities for families to eat with other Joyner families. If this is something we stick with, maybe we could move this to the cafeteria? We could chat with Ms. Walker about moving aftercare students somewhere else at 5:30.

Stephanie Wilcox hopping on Virtual with me even while she wasn't feeling well!!!

Thank you to Groves and Forbes for jumping in and taking over last night when I didn't have a voice! I know y'all crushed it!

Teams for collaborating on the best ways to share information/take home items.

scdavis2 — 2024-03-01 14:45:41 UTC

Piner on the bookmark idea!

Parent who attended were really engaged. They asked good questions and wanted to learn how to support their student.

Timing

2024-03-01 16:00:43 UTC

I think all curriculum nights need to happen before the MOY. Spring seems to be a busy time of year for families.

Families coming togehter

2024-03-01 17:37:46 UTC

I loved seeing our families come together here at Joyner. They got to eat with one another AND they got to give one another suggestions they use at home, regarding reading.

2024-03-01 18:44:08 UTC

We need to specify the age range for child care. We had some families try to drop off young children.

Families who wouldn't have been able to attend in-person at JYJ, were so grateful to be able to attend at Moores Square

2024-03-01 20:37:58 UTC

Parents were equipped with tools to work with their children at home
