Background:
|
As family and community engagement continues to be a priority at MPS, district-wide efforts are increasing to support schools in implementing the six standards of engagement. For the fourth year, MPS has started the school year with a Family Interest Survey designed to solicit input from families to assist with designing activities for the year. The survey, which closed on October 31, 2018, also serves to fulfill the requirement of Wisconsin Statute, Section 119.16(14), regarding a survey of parents.
Preliminary data of more than 10,600 families that completed the Family Interest Survey indicates that respondents were: 82% female, 17% male; 37% Black/African-American, 31% Latino, 22% White, 3% Biracial/Multiracial, 6% Asian, 1% American Indian/Native; and 22% had a child receiving special education services.
Responses to the survey included:
•99% of families agreed or strongly agreed that their schools are welcoming to families.
•The top workshops that families said they would attend were:
How to help my child continue learning at home, Promoting positive child behavior, Bullying, Tests my child takes in school, and getting ready for college.
•36% of families said they want to volunteer for field trips, and 28% said they want to volunteer in a classroom.
•41% of families said the best way to notify them of school activities is via text message, 15% said via email, and another 18% said via flyer sent home with their child.
•Regardless of day (Monday – Friday) over 82% of families surveyed said evening activities were preferable between 5-8 p.m.
•Of those surveyed, 1% prefer school activities be presented in Burmese, 17% prefer a presentation in Spanish and 82% prefer English.
Every school will receive a personalized report of the results specific to that school. Dependent upon responses, parent coordinators will use the survey results to guide programming and communication throughout the year.
