Clearwater Academy is preparing for its annual Spring Fling event, which is its main fund-raiser for new technology tools. The staff members at Clearwater want to engage all families, including the many ELL families in the event. Describe specific strategies the planning committee should use to engage all families in this event, recognizing that some families will have limited financial abilities to participate.
What will be an ideal response?
Refocus the event to be on family engagement, not just fund-raising.
Allow free entrance to the event to encourage all to come.
Focus on intensive outreach, including the dissemination of invitations to the event through paper and digital means utilizing families’ home languages.
Engage faculty and staff to reach out to individual families and invite them to the event.
Engage the help of bilingual intermediaries to reach out to individual families in various ways, including via telephone, text, and e-mail, and in person.
Engage the help of bilingual intermediaries to attend the event.
Consider including activities before the event that are smaller and more personal, such as coffee with the principal, to engage families that may not be comfortable with large group activities.
