Riverside Elementary: eliminating the parent communication bottleneck
A diverse 420-student K-5 school where weekly newsletters and report cards left many families uninformed about daily academic work. Teachers averaged 3.5 hours/week on reactive parent communication.
- → 58% drop in inbound parent email in 4 weeks
- → Teacher communication time: 3.5 → 1.4 hrs/week
- → 34% lift in families reporting they feel 'well informed'
