Title I District PAC Parent Engagement Feedback by https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks en-us 2020-08-17 15:04:59 UTC 2020-10-16 20:38:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://3kllhk1ibq34qk6sp3bhtox1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/radical-candor_featured2@2x.png Normally, WHES seeks volunteer opportunities (help during Field Trips, classroom celebrations, reading buddies, etc.). Also they ask for parent volunteers to serve on the PTO and SIT. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821601708 2020-10-12 13:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821601708 I think during this transition, parents are still willing to help in any way they can. Even if they can help prep for activities at home and drop them off at school for the teacher or serve on a committee virtually. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821607503 2020-10-12 13:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821607503 WHES shares information via Canvas, email, progress reports, report cards, assessment results, etc. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821610318 2020-10-12 13:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821610318 I would like to know more able how to help if my child is struggling in any areas. It is great to know their strengths, but also knowing where they are struggling before report cards are shared will be great. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821611652 2020-10-12 13:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821611652 WHES shares information in multiple ways. Especially during COVID, we have received a lot of communication. Emails, newsletters, phone calls, videos, social media, etc. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821614125 2020-10-12 13:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821614125 I like how my child's school has shared information in multiple ways. There is a lot of communication right now and I think highlighting the most important information somehow will help parents know what information is most important at this time. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821616966 2020-10-12 13:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821616966 Overall, I am pleased with information received and about my child's process. I think during this time of transition, we need to figure out how to support two way communication. I actually think Teams helps because parents can submit feedback during meetings and there is documentation via chat box and/or recordings. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821620994 2020-10-12 13:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821620994 Literacy Night, Triple P Presentations, Resilience Presentation, SIT invites on Dojo, pre-covid in person volunteer opportunities offered during PBIS reward days, book fair, etc. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821720031

Active CIS rep (Ms Allen) disseminating info, active administrators' presence, active classroom teacher presence, and contact from encore/specials staff Ms. Kilby and Ms. Hill especially. Their communications helps to paint the picture that they all are invested in our children's education and success- even if we as parents do not have the opportunity to click around through Canvas. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821737708 2020-10-12 14:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821737708 https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821737738 I have 3 children in title 1 schools, i would like to have less generic updates from each teacher.

Unsure how that could look... Admins are receptive to concerns, however possibly extending feedback sessions outside of the typical school day would be more inviting for some who are unaware of the pathways to engagement. PM virtual meets are often during the time when parents are getting home from work, making dinner, helping with homework or getting students ready for bed- a possible weekend session may be helpful, or having a "living document" type format where questions are asked and answered in a town hall fashion, so even if a parent is too shy to ask- or does not think to ask- can receive the answer. As the saying goes, we only know what we know. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821742576 2020-10-12 14:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821742576 https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/821746343 Overall for the district, I wished for the younger kids at least, they should have planned some sort of workbook teaching/work to help teachers and students.  I think this would have helped with reinforcement of learning and practicing at home.  All the screen time and trying to do work on canvas, dojo, seesaw are hard for kids that CAN'T yet type.  A thought for the district.

A lot of the meetings start during "working" hours which doesn't allow the majority of the working parents to help out. When events start at 4, we are rushing in at the end. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836935224 2020-10-16 20:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836935224 Dojo has been a great way to communicate. However, the standard for awarding points seems to vary too much from teacher to teacher. Canvas is tough because every teacher does it so differently. Daily check list would be helpful. Some teachers were sending this on dojo but have said they will no longer do that when in person instruction starts. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836938582 2020-10-16 20:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836938582 Weekly or daily checklist are necessary because canvas is not the easiest to navigate. Assignments for other grade levels show up on to do list. And some assignments are listed but never really assigned so it makes it hard to understand what has to be done everyday without a list. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836942136 2020-10-16 20:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836942136 Messages come out all the time on various platforms.

All of the kids need to practice writing and that isn't happening when everything is on a screen. Eyes get very tired from looking at the screen all morning and then all afternoon with more videos and work. The encore teachers have been amazing and keeping the students involved. I do like the individuality from each teachers canvas virtual classroom but there needs to be some things that are standard and consistent too. https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836948820 2020-10-16 20:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amyslagle2/Bookmarks/wish/836948820
