​Engaged Families = Great Schools
Schools notice four things when families set high expectations and work on learning activities at home:
  • Student achievement improves
  • Attendance rates improve
  • Behavior referrals decrease
  • Student motivation increases
A national survey found only 22% of parents "can name a basic milestone that their child should have learned in school over the previous year." (1) We can't expect parents to set high expectations and work on learning at home when 78% of families are unaware of what their child is learning at school. 

Family Five will help your school improve parent engagement, reach disengaged families and show them how to set high expectations and work on learning activities at home. 
What is Family Five:
Family Five is a series of parent videos designed to show families:
  • What my child is learning at school
  • Why the skills/concepts are important
  • Simple and fun at-home learning activities we can start working on tonight
NOW AVAILABLE: 66 videos in English addressing Pre-K-2nd grade standards, 24 Spanish videos for kindergarten readiness.
COMING SOON: 40+ videos addressing 3rd grade content; Spanish videos addressing K-2 reading, writing and math

Convenient for Families

Family members access when and where it is convenient for them: while waiting for the bus; in the break room at work; or in line at the grocery store. They view a short video on a smartphone, tablet or computer. No need to wait weeks or months for an updated newsletter or meeting at school.

Created by Teachers, with Input from Families

Video Lessons are made by classroom teachers, but we start by talking with families. Parent feedback is gathered during each stage of development. Families tell us what they need to know and teachers present the information in a parent friendly way.

For all Families

If a child is on-grade level, struggling or gifted, families can find a helpful video. Parents of struggling students can work on tips covered in previous years. Parents of gifted students can extend learning with activities the teacher may not cover until later in the year.

Actionable Home Learning Tips

Families have two requests: Tell me exactly what to do and make it simple. Videos give them actionable tips that easily fit into their home routine. Families learn how to work on important skills while visiting the grocery store, playing at the park, or cleaning the house. Lessons use parent friendly language. Learning tips require materials commonly found around the home.
