What is a School-Parent Compact?
Our annual school– parent compact offers ways that we can work together to help our students succeed. This compact provides strategies to help connect learning at school and at home.
Effective Compacts:
Link to academic achievement goals
Focus on student learning and growth
Share strategies that staff, parents, and students can use
Explains how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress
Describe opportunities for parents to observe, volunteer, and participate in the classroom.
______________________________________
Jointly Developed
The parents, students, and staff worked together and share ideas to develop the school-parent compact. A “Parent Literacy Night” and Title 1 Committee meeting are held each year to review and revise the compact based on the school’s academic achievement goals and students’ needs.
Parents are welcome to provide feedback at any time. All feedback will be collected and reviewed during the annual revision meeting with parents.
