Foundation Academies Charter School

Objective:

Foundation Academies is a top-performing K-12 public charter school in Trenton, NJ. Founded in 2007, Foundation Academies serves more than 1,000 students. Its high school graduating class is routinely 100% college bound. In April 2020, in the immediate aftermath of  statewide school closings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Foundation Academies found their communications staff overwhelmed with the tasks of continuing to publicize the charter school while simultaneously serving as the resource for communication on all subjects to staff, parents, and the community. Working in partnership with Foundation Academies, Positive Solutions was tasked with relieving some of their communications workload as soon as possible within tight budget constraints.

Results:

Positive Solutions found that social media was an
area that the staff found very time-consuming,
so we created a robust plan to develop daily and
weekly content for the busy end-of-school year
months of May and June

  • By developing close relationships with the staff
    and recommending simple tech solutions,
    our team helped the Foundation Academies
    community navigate COVID-19 chaos and keep
    their stakeholders informed

  • Successful campaigns and posts included:

    • Huge responses to the June Parent Survey

    • High online engagement with the
      graduation-week #FCAClassof2020
      series of videos

    • A year-end matching-campaign
      fundraiser that met its $15k goal

  • The success of the short 2-month collaboration
    has led to an ongoing relationship
    through the summer months and into multiple
    school years.
