Parent Survey

Dear Lufkin ISD Parents and Guardians:

School districts across the state and our nation are struggling to answer one question, what will school be like next year? We receive information from the CDC, the Texas Education Agency, and our local health organizations with guidelines and suggestions, but we also want to know what our parents are thinking and what worked and didn’t work during March 16 through May 22. We appreciate your input and thank you for your time in completing this short survey.

Question Title

* There could be times during the next school year when a campus or classroom(s) may be required to close for a period of time due to an outbreak. Teachers would use an online learning platform to continue instruction. What would be the greatest challenge for your child with this type of instruction? Check all that apply.

My child did fine this spring with online instruction and could do it again in the fall.

We do not have access to technology or enough devices at home.

Teacher-student contact (explaining lessons and individual contact)

Structure of the learning time

My child can drive themselves to school.

I can bring my child to and from school.

I could bring my child to school on some days, but not all days

I could bring my child to school in the afternoons, but not in the mornings.

I have no transportation to and from school other than the bus.

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* Please note that none of the options listed below have been implemented by Lufkin ISD, but are being discussed on the state level. We want your input if these become the only way/ways we can return to school. The information provided below will help us pick the best option for our community, should we need to look at alternate ways to provide education to students in the fall.

Year-round school calendar:

Year-round school calendar with an extended school year to allow for closures due to an outbreak. Regularly scheduled breaks throughout the school year would extend, or not extend holidays if there was an outbreak, such as Thanksgiving (up to two weeks) Christmas (up to four weeks) and Spring Break (up to two weeks) The school year might extend until the third week in June.

I like this option.

It would be OK, if it’s the only way.

Childcare during the extended breaks would be a problem for my family.

I do not prefer this option.

Question Title

* Hybrid Learning

This model integrates “face to face” (in school) learning with online learning. Students attend school part of the day or week and learn online for part of the day or week. The first model is A/B days. Students would attend school either two or three days a week and would learn online on the other days, with online learning provided by their teachers.

I like the option.

It would be OK if it is the only way

Childcare would be a problem with this option.

We do not have internet access.

I do not prefer this option.

Question Title

* Hybrid Learning model using A/B weeks

Using this model, students would alternate weeks attending school. On their “out of school” weeks, the students would receive online instruction.

I like the option.

It would be OK if it is the only way

Childcare would be a problem with this option.

We do not have internet access.

I do not prefer this option.

Question Title

* Hybrid Learning model using AM/PM days

Students are assigned to either attend school in the morning or afternoon each day. During the time they are “out” of school, students work on online assignments.

I like the option.

It would be OK if it is the only way

Childcare would be a problem with this option.

We do not have internet access.

I do not prefer this option.

Question Title

* Please feel free to leave any comments that you would like for administration to read. Thank you for your time in taking this survey. Your suggestions will certainly be considered in our decision-making process concerning the re-opening of the school district.
