Stakeholder Engagement Our Lessons Learned

▪ Every family has needs and priorities are difgerent - flexible supports are needed

□ Positive and Thankful vs. Overwhelmed □ Too much work vs. Not enough work

▪ Everyone (students, parents, stafg) is trying to figure out how to have “life balance”

□ school, work, and family

▪ Parents want more direct instruction with teachers

□ merely posting assignments on Google Classroom and expecting student to complete the assignment is not efgective instruction

▪ Consistent platforms that teachers use to instruct and turn in assignments ▪ Clear and Consistent Communication

□ Between our schools and our families □ Additional culturally specific communication sessions are needed to connect with native language and families groups

▪ Accountability and Progress Monitoring of Student Performance ▪ Social and Emotional Supports ▪ Continue to partner and work side by side with our families and our Community Partners Organizations to help our students
