STANDARD SIX - EXTERNAL DEVELOPMENT LEADERSHIP
A school executive will design structures and processes that result in community engagement, support, and ownership. Acknowledging that schools no longer reflect but in fact build community, the leader proactively creates with staff opportunities for parents, community and business representatives to participate as “stockholders”in the school such that continued investments of resources and good will are not left to chance.

This year during my internship I have had the opportunity to work with parents and families in a variety of capacities from open house, information sessions, magnet fair/tours, technology requests, tech support, behavior conversations, tech updates, and at supply distribution and a parent advisory team. Above you will find the agendas to a parent advisory meeting I was a part of and a spreadsheet with a variety of questions families had at multiple information sessions administration had with families where we collected questions and replied to their answers. Then we sent those out and recordings of sessions for all families who could not attend to view them. The last one is from our virtual open house. We sent out the document for families to attend different grade level open houses and also provide an open house session for families who speak Spanish. I attended each grade level open house and provided support to multiple grade levels in helping with their google meet set up or tech issues that came up during the open house. I checked in with each grade level and provided the support they needed.

Above you will find two examples of school messengers I was able to either write or add to that was sent out to families. As virtual academy coordinator I communicated with families about technology updates, their cohort assignments, and tech/VA updates /support when needed. The third one was a school messenger welcome letter I was able to add to to support out families in logging on to WakeID (also in Spanish).
