The Value of Parent Input
Parent engagement is one of the strongest predictors of student success. When families feel connected to their child's school, students have better attendance, higher achievement, and improved behavior. Parent surveys help schools understand what's working in family communication and where improvements are needed.
Key Areas to Assess
This template measures communication effectiveness, how welcomed and valued parents feel, responsiveness to questions and concerns, academic support and challenge levels, and overall satisfaction. These dimensions align with family engagement research and best practices.
Acting on Parent Feedback
Share aggregate survey results with the school community and be transparent about action plans. Form parent committees to help implement improvements, establish multiple communication channels to meet diverse preferences, and resurvey to measure progress. Small changes like improved email updates or more flexible meeting times can significantly boost engagement.
