One of them: QR code for parents to scan on school doors and newsletters to share what their family needs. 02:05:27 Erica Jean-Charles: the survey because then we can also take suggestions from the parents on how we can help them make sure the scholars are making it. I'd also like to see the calendar being used but maybe it's too late in the year (i think it was used as some type of tracker) 02:05:47 Pamela Haldy: Kindergarten and middle school are issues. we need to help parents understand that habits start at K level.
