“When I’m stressed it’s hard to focus on the kids, the texts helped redirect me, here’s something to think about. Having the reminder was really life saving.”
Easy to Launch, Use, and Measure Impact
ParentPowered is designed to help schools reach and engage as many families as efficiently and equitably as possible.
Implementation takes a matter of minutes, not days or weeks. In addition to seeing at-a-glance data about the program, such as live enrollment persistence, usage, and demographic data, administrators can measure the program’s impact through quarterly family survey data and engagement insights.
Grant Funding for Organizations Serving Economically Disadvantaged Families
Our Equity Grant program makes implementing ParentPowered easier by covering a portion of partnership costs for qualified education organizations. All Head Start programs and many PreK–12 school districts qualify for some level of funding with a ParentPowered Equity Grant.
