Ideas for next year ….
- Continue communicating with parents
- Look at specific pockets of information we gained from survey and dig deeper to figure out what some answers meant (ex: foreign language, preK resource)
- Buddy families to help families that might struggle to feel included in the community to feel more welcome (e.g. non-English speaking and out of bounds).
- Bring back International Night
