Use this checklist as a leadership tool to monitor how well family partnership is working across your whole school, not just in single classrooms. It helps you check that ASL classes for families are ongoing, leveled, and scheduled around family availability; that families receive regular resources and culturally responsive support that build their confidence; that schoolwide communication is timely, consistent, and available in ASL and English; and that home-school communication is proactive and two-way, with families taking real part in events, leadership, and IEP decisions. Use it to find gaps and align practice.
