BUILT FOR HOW HEAD START TEAMS ACTUALLY WORK
A better way to manage your PIR
Every Head Start leader knows the stress of PIR season. The spreadsheets. The follow-ups. The “why is this missing?” emails. For many teams, it’s the most time-consuming, stressful task of the year.
GoEngage changes that.
By turning PIR data tracking into something you do throughout the year — not just in a rush before the deadline. Built specifically for Head Start programs, GoEngage is the all-in-one platform that transforms PIR from a last-minute scramble into a smooth, year-round process — with real-time tracking, role-based entry, and built-in compliance safeguards.
100% AUTOMATIC PIR
6 reasons why Head Start programs love PIR in GoEngage
Track data year-round — not just in August
PIR fields are clearly mapped in GoEngage, so every entry counts. No more reconciling systems, spreadsheets, or sticky notes.
Reduce manual errors and last-minute gaps
With built-in validation rules, alerts, and status dashboards, GoEngage helps you stay ahead of errors before they become submission problems.
Role-based access = clean, consistent data
Staff only see and enter the data relevant to their role — making training easier and reducing entry mistakes.
PIR snapshots for leadership
Program leaders and data managers can take weekly, monthly, or quarterly PIR snapshots by site, classroom, and content area.
"My PIR" boosts accountability
Leadership can assign PIR questions to individual staff, so no one needs to know the entire PIR — just their piece. Everyone becomes responsible for the accuracy of their own entries, making monitoring and compliance a shared effort.
Aligned with Head Start Performance Standards
Every data point supports compliance and simplifies monitoring and self-assessment efforts.

Before vs After
The Problem with PIR (As You Know It)
❌ You’re pulling data from multiple systems
❌ You’re chasing down missing fields in June, July, and August
❌ You’re unsure what’s complete — and what isn’t
❌ You’re stressed, burned out, or frustrated (or all three)
But What If Your PIR Was Already 90% Done?
With GoEngage, it is.
We built our system to align with PIR requirements from the ground up — so the moment a teacher enters information, a family specialist logs a contact, or a health manager updates a form, it’s counted.
