Increased Family Engagement at Diehl
Family engagement at Diehl Elementary reached new heights this year, strengthening connections between home and school. Families consistently expressed pride in being part of the Diehl community, with 94% reporting that their child feels safe at school, 96% feeling welcomed into the school community, and 96% proud that their child attends Diehl. When families feel this connected, school spirit grows and students are set up for success. This year, Diehl hosted 12 family engagement events, including the school’s first-ever Trunk or Treat in October 2024, which drew nearly 500 students, families, staff, and community partners. The event’s excitement and strong turnout demonstrated the power of the United Way Community School Model in creating opportunities for families to come together, celebrate, and build lasting connections.
