Received 39 parent reactions.....

Google Docs makes it so easy for you to view the answers to your survey. I have received 39 responses thus far. The responses show that most of our parents are pleased with the new program. Parents with children who have not received award parties seem just as content as those that have received the award party. Across the board, parents answered "I don't know enough about the program." We will use this information to adjust how we can better inform the parents that their child has earned a reward. Plans to send the survey out a second time are in the works. We are using their timely (or untimely) responses as a gage for parent interaction with email information as well as for my action research. In the first three days since the email we received 39 responses.

Survey is out -

I'm so excited, kind of like a kid in a candy store. My parent survey went out via email and paper form to all parents today. I am anxiously awaiting their responses. I will keep you posted. Below are a couple of things I learned about trying to get information out to parents. 1. Not as easy as it appears 2. If you plan to send your google doc home in paper form it will require some cutting and pasting 3. Someone will always critize 4. It is time consuming attempting to get it right.
