WHAT IS A SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT?

Our annual school-parent compact is a written commitment describing how all members of a school community—parents, teachers, principals, and students—agree to share responsibility  for student learning. This compact helps bridge the learning connection between school and home.

JOINTLY DEVELOPED

This compact is uniquely developed to meet the needs and goals of our students. Parents, students, teachers and faculty member’s work together to develop our school-parent compact. Each school year, two meetings are held for parents, teachers, and students to compare the compact with school data to review our progress and assess our goals.

■             Six-week progress reports

■             Parent Liaison Newsletter

■             Telephone messages

■             Parent-teacher conferences
