What is a School-Parent Compact?
A School-Parent Compact is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all our students reach or exceed grade- level standards.
Effective compacts:
Link to goals of the school improvement plan
Focus on student learning skills
Describe how teachers will help students develop those skills using high-quality curriculum and effective instruction in a supportive learning environment
Share strategies parents can use at home
Explain how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress
Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer, observe, and participate in the classroom
