Family services and engagement
Partnership agreements, referrals and the family services the annual report asks for at item C.44. Family engagement is tied to school readiness through one item specifically: whether families were involved in discussing their child's screening and assessment results.
From need identified to goal documented
The four steps are nested: a confirmed service implies an accepted referral. 51% of referrals reach a documented goal, and the drop between confirmed and documented is usually a recording gap rather than a service gap, which is worth separating before it is read as a failure of the referral.
Where families need help
Housing and food assistance are the two largest categories. A family may hold more than one referral, so the categories do not sum to the number of families.

Every active family in this view is counted in at least one service, which is the validation at item C.45. The item marked in orange is C.44.j, the one the standard ties to school readiness progress.
Father and father-figure engagement
Denominators are all 441 active families, not only two-parent families, which is how the item is reported.
Families involved in assessment conversations, by center
Sunrise fall below 80%. That is a self-assessment finding rather than a data problem: the conversations either happened and were not recorded, or they did not happen.
Partnership agreements by center
| Center | Families | Complete | Share | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magnolia Street | 59 | 38 | 64% | Well behind |
| Cypress Point | 55 | 47 | 85% | On track |
| Riverside | 62 | 47 | 76% | Behind |
| Oak Grove | 50 | 37 | 74% | Behind |
| Heron Bay | 60 | 50 | 83% | Behind |
| Willow Creek | 58 | 48 | 83% | Behind |
| Bayou Lane | 51 | 40 | 78% | Behind |
| Sunrise | 50 | 39 | 78% | Behind |
14 families have had no recorded contact in 60 days. Those are the families a partnership agreement process is designed to reach, and they are also the families least likely to appear in any other count.
Parent volunteer hours by month
1,847 hours from 148 parent volunteers. December is the winter break; the rise from February is the spring family programming.
Family stability indicators
Housing stability is measured from families recorded as experiencing homelessness at any point in the year, which is the population item C.49 reports against.
