I am so sorry you are having difficulties. My suggestion with your old plan is in the area of surveys. I sent out a survey to 70+ parents last year via email and received 9 responses. It was very frustrating. This year, my campus is doing another parent survey, but this time we are going to set up a computer table at Meet the Teacher Night and make it in line with all of the other check in stations. We are hoping to get more input. We also agreed to make it as short and concise as possible. This might help you get the greatest amount of feedback.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kelly that you might have more success if paired with Meet the Teacher Night. I would give away some kind of token for parent survey completed like a new pencil, a cute eraser, a donut or make it a drawing for .......
