The IDOE recognizes that the schools have demonstrated that there are various programs and processes in place during the current school year that engage families, students, staff, and leadership within each building. The award letter stated that Caston’s commitment to fostering strong family-school partnerships is truly commendable and plays a vital role in promoting student success. By prioritizing family engagement, Caston is enriching the educational experience and strengthening the community as a whole.
Through the process, surveys were completed by students, staff and families. Survey results were shared with principals and a Family Friendly Schools Self Evaluation Rubric was completed for each school.
Results from the self evaluation will be used in the planning process and goal setting for the 2024-25 school year.
