What is a
School Parent-Compact?

A school-parent compact is a way to create a partnership between the school and home that focuses on helping students be successful. This compact will help explain how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all of our students reach grade level expectations.
Effective Compacts:
Link to school improvement plan goals
Focus on student learning
Explain how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress
Provide strategies that students and parents can use and support at home
Describe opportunities for how parents can be involved in their child’s education

Jointly Development
The parents, students, and staff worked together and shared ideas to develop the school-parent compact. During our annual Title 1 committee meeting and our campus educational improvement committee meetings, the school-parent compact is discussed, reviewed, and revised based on the school’s academic goals and student’s needs.
Parent input and feedback are welcome at any time. All feedback will be collected and reviewed during our annual revision meeting with parents.
