Thank you to all who participated in the recent HBCSD Communications Survey. The feedback collected is instrumental in shaping strategies that enhance communication, transparency, and engagement throughout the District.

Based on the insights received, several key themes have emerged:

• ParentSquare continues to be a highly valued platform, with 96% of respondents identifying it as the most effective communication tool. This positive feedback reinforces HBCSD’s continued use of the platform to ensure consistent and accessible communication.
  
  

• Survey responses indicate a need for increased communication around important District topics—such as the strategic plan, budget, staffing, and enrollment trends. Highlighting an opportunity for increased transparency and outreach. 
  
  

• While ParentSquare remains effective, opportunities exist to bolster other platforms, such as school websites and social media. HBCSD is actively reviewing these tools to support broader accessibility and consistency in messaging.
  
  

• Feedback emphasized a desire for more opportunities to engage with the District. HBCSD is exploring ways to strengthen inclusive, two-way dialogue and create spaces where community input informs decisions.

Building and maintaining trust through clear, responsive communication remains a District priority. Feedback from this survey will inform ongoing efforts to improve outreach and foster stronger connections across the community. 

HBCSD values the continued partnership of families and community members in this process and appreciates the time taken to share meaningful insights.
