Dear Ryan Road School Families,
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your feedback in our 2024-2025 Caregiver Survey. The responses provided clear, consistent, and invaluable insights into what we are doing well and where we have opportunities to grow. It is important to note that while we only received a handful of responses, the insights shared are clear and actionable. We are treating these results as initial observations that help point us in the right direction, and we will be looking for more ways to gather your input throughout the year.
Celebrating Our Strengths
We were truly heartened by the positive feedback, which affirms that the Ryan Road community is strong and welcoming.
-
Strong Welcoming Environment: Nearly all respondents stated they felt welcomed and connected to the school community. This is a direct reflection of our amazing staff and teachers who are consistently praised for being warm, kind, and proactive in their positive connection with you and your children
-
High-Quality Caregiver-Teacher Conferences: Our conferences received overwhelmingly positive ratings. We are proud that you felt teachers were well-prepared and demonstrated an individualized knowledge of each student, ensuring you received "good information about our student's learning.
-
Effective Communication Tools: Our use of ParentSquare and weekly teacher newsletters is working well for most families.
Key Areas for Growth: Refining Communication
The primary focus of your feedback, and therefore our work moving forward, centers on refining the volume, consistency, and specificity of our school-to-home communication.
- We heard clearly that during times like unscheduled closures, the sheer volume of communication can be overwhelming.
- We heard a desire for more proactive communication about your child's individual social and emotional well-being.
- While general updates are appreciated, some families requested more specific information about daily or weekly learning to better support their child at home.
Your partnership is essential to making Ryan Road a vibrant and supportive environment for every child and family. Our annual Caregiver survey will come mid-year and we look forward to hearing about your family's experience with our school.
