School-Parent Compact
September 2006
Dear Parent or Guardian:
Your child qualifies for Title I services due to teacher recommendation, low test scores, or a developmentally appropriate measure. Included in this folder is a copy of our School-Parent Compact. The Compact represents our commitment to a strong partnership for learning between staff at school, students, and parents. The Compact outlines how everyone will work together and share in the responsibility for improving student performance.
The Compact is part of our school’s parent involvement plan and represents the importance of communication between teachers and parents. Reviewing the Compact with your child will help reinforce the value we place upon active parent support and supervision of the learning process at home and at school.
Also, please discuss the School-Parent Compact with your child’s teacher. Together, you will gain deeper insight and understanding of how to make school a very rewarding and successful learning experience for your child.
If you have questions about the School-Parent Compact or our school’s parent involvement plan, please call me at 927-6688 Ext. 506. As always, I appreciate and encourage your continued involvement at school and support of your child’s education.
Sincerely yours,
Nicki McAninch

School's Responsibility

- Provide opportunities for ongoing communication between you and teachers through, at a minimum:

- frequent reports regarding your child's progress, and
- opportunities to talk with staff, volunteer in the class, and observe classroom activities.
Parent's Responsibility
- Encourage your child to attend school regularly
- Encourage your child to show positive school behavior
- Review your child's homework
- Monitor television watching and encourage positive use of your child's extra-curricular time
- Volunteer in your child's school classroom if time and schedule permits
