1) Band is the "social" app that we use for most announcements and to allow parents a valuable look into the goings-on of your child's studio!  

2) Please join all bands that apply to your family (with EQUIP as your main communication to the school--with notifications ON!). 

3) Decide how and how often you want to receive notifications to the other bands to stay connected to the parents at the school and to your studios.

Think of this as “the details” section & where we are “talking at you” . This band will be limited and used primarily for:

The "EQUIP" Band

  • Emergency Communication
  • Calendar and event information
  • Important school-wide announcements
  • Safety or policy/procedure updates, reminders or notifications
  • Survey’s and Meeting Postings
  • Periodic Mini-posts to inform you about what is being shared on the “INSPIRE Band.”  
  • The “Remind feature” may be used on occasion TO DIRECT PARENTS TO THE EQUIP BAND, for safety purposes, schedule changes, or to aid in collecting survey results.
This band will empower the parents to become connected with the school as a whole and to build community by seeing (and celebrating!) what is happening in the community!
➡️ JOIN THE CONNECT BAND! ⬅️  And decide how often you want to receive notifications from this band to stay connected with the other parents.

The "CONNECT" Band

The following guardrails will be in place: 
  • Regular posts from individual studios will be SHORT, with a picture and a caption. These posts will direct parents to the individual studio bands if they would like to see more detail or get the whole story. These posts aim to connect the community as a whole, highlight amazing studio-happenings and create opportunities for family discussion about daily events at Acton.
  • Use this Band to announce “clubs” that you would like to organize at/for/with Acton Community Families and to arrange social events for the Acton Community.  
  • Feel free to comment often! Being invested in and helping to build a strong learning community is vital to your family experience at Acton. Pat other parents & Heroes on the back and use this Band to get to know your Acton West End Family.
  • We may feature a guide, Hero or family on here as well to help you better connect. 
This band will serve as a resource that will inspire your family journey. We will be posting inspiring and thought provoking material here to keep you focused on your own journey and to offer perspective about the Acton Journey!
➡️ JOIN THE INSPIRE BAND! ⬅️  And decide how often you want to receive notifications from this band to stay connected with the other parents.

The "INSPIRE" Band

The following guardrails will be in place: 
  • This Band will support all of us as we aim to honor our Acton Parent Contract and to become better parents and stronger families--an IMPORTANT part of the mission that we are all connected on! 
  • We will offer Principle Focused posts on a consistent basis.  These may include, but are not limited to:
  • Parent Tips and Advice

Acton Academy West End is committed to continual growth and improvement. We rely on our customers (our parents and Heroes) to help us know how we are doing in fulfilling our promises. We ask that you and your learner complete this survey weekly. The summary of these surveys will be shared with the Acton West End families and guides. By sharing the results, we uphold our shared value of transparency and accountability to you.

In Addition: To aid in ease for parents and for communicating how we are doing with the Acton Network as a whole, if you wish your rating to be "Excellent" and your child's rating to be "Excellent" and if you have no additional comments, feel free to abstain from the survey. In the same way, if we do not hear from a family, we will count your submission as "Excellent" in both categories. If you just forgot to respond and wish to adjust your rating and add comments, feel free to do so and we will update it accordingly! We hope this helps clarify and even ease our parent’s need to respond to the survey if things are going well and you have nothing to add. Thank you again for linking arms with us in unleashing the greatness in your child!

WEEKLY SURVEY

Note: The survey is a place for constructive input. This process is not meant to become a place for fostering complaining or negativity, which will poison our community if allowed to grow. If you have a personal issue, please approach us directly and request a conflict resolution.
-We reserve the right to remove any comment that criticizes another parent or Hero.
-We reserve the right to remove any comment that is better dealt with one-on-one, as it is a personal issue and not a community issue.
-If your comment has been removed, please choose to have the courage to approach us directly for a personal conflict resolution.
