Back-to-school season is in full swing! Read more from our experts on eSchool News. "There continues to be a disconnect between how students are doing academically and how parents think their children are doing in school. In the 2024-2025 school year, we will need to bridge gaps between school and home to engage parents in academic recovery efforts." – Jacob Bruno "In this post-COVID and ESSER funding era, single point in time data will lose its relevance if it is not connected to the fuller picture of student academic health.
