Coffee with Krishna Recap + Family Engagement Series Planning Survey

Thank you to everyone who joined our Coffees with Krishna, the first event in our new CBA Family Engagement Series. Families in the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools spoke openly about their experiences, and the same five themes came up in every division:

• Clearer enrollment communication. Families valued the support they received from our Enrollment Office. They also asked for earlier notice, realistic timelines, and simpler steps between the Parent Portal and FACTS.
• Consistency through change. Families want a steady experience for their children during staff changes, with earlier notice and fewer handoffs. Our work with students with learning differences and their families depends on relationships, so we prioritize quality over speed and volume.
• Visible student progress. Families asked to see how their children are growing. CERTI is building measures of progress and outcomes, and we will host a session on this work.
• Partnership and follow-through. Families want to be heard before decisions are made and to see what happens afterward.
• Practical support for families. Commutes, transportation, tuition, and financial aid weigh on many families. We are looking into a transportation pilot and planning a session on affordability.

Families who attended have received a recap for their division.
