Research tells us that families significantly influence their children’s achievements through school and life. When schools build partnerships with families, respond to their concerns, and honor their contributions, they promote a range of benefits for students, including improved school readiness, higher student achievement, better social skills and behavior, and increased likelihood of high school graduation.

At the end of the 2021-2022 school year, the FACE survey asked families for feedback on their involvement and engagement at their child’s school.

We received 2, 180 responses (English-1,262 Spanish- 918).

Below are the survey results that will help us identify strengths and areas of improvement.

Vardeman EC/ PK - Ms. Sonia Pace's art students did a fantastic job with their "Jackson Pollock" artwork. It is a very attractive piece of artwork on the Community Wall in Bank of America, Greenspoint location. The PK Panda artists discussed and applied the techniques to a color theory lesson using two primary colors to make a secondary color.

The artist Paul Jackson Pollock was an American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was widely noticed for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles.

These PK artists were able to imitate Jackson Pollock technique without splatting paint on the classroom floors.

"When schools, families, and community groups

work together to support learning,

children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer,

and like school more."
