Start of Year Family Engagement Survey, 2025-2026

Your childโ€™s school and Save the Children would like feedback regarding how well the school welcomed and communicated with families. (Your school received support from Save the Children this past year.) Filling out this survey will help your school and Save the Children learn what worked for you and your family and what we could do better. The information you share may help us serve your community better in the future and may help us get resources to provide your community more programs. We believe the risk from filling out this 5-minute survey to be very small. We will do everything we can to keep any information identifying you confidential. If you have any further questions about this survey, please contact the U.S. Programโ€™s Monitoring and Evaluation Team at USPDataReports@savechildren.org. Completing this survey is voluntary and there is no penalty to you for not completing the survey.


If you have more than one child at this school, please answer with your youngest child in mind.

Help Your Child Succeed in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance Early DID YOU KNOW? โ€ข Starting in preschool and kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. โ€ข Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn to read. โ€ข Students can still fall behind if they miss just one or two days every few weeks. โ€ข Being late to school may lead to poor attendance. โ€ข Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up. Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school-and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Set a regular bedtime and morning routine. โ€ข Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before. โ€ข Keep your child healthy and make sure your child has the required shots. โ€ข Introduce your children to their teachers and classmates before school starts. โ€ข Develop backup plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent. โ€ข Try to schedule non-urgent related medical appointments and extended trips when school isnโ€™t in session. โ€ข If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning. โ€ข If you are concerned that your child may have a contagious illness, call your school or health care provider for advice. โ€ข If your child must stay home due to illness, ask the teacher for resources and ideas to continue learning at home. When Do Absences Become a Problem? CHRONIC ABSENCE 18 or more days WARNING SIGNS 10 to 17 days SATISFACTORY 9 or fewer absences Note: These numbers assume a 180-day school year.

We apologize for the inconvenience this morning. There was some confusion with substitute drivers, and unfortunately, Bus 11 did not run. We were not aware of this issue until after it had already occurred.

Students who ride Bus 11 will be excused from school today. Thank you for your understanding.
