As a campus receiving Title I funds, we are required to develop a school-parent compact. "The compact serves as a clear reminder of all stakeholders’ responsibility to take action at school and at home so that children can attain the state’s academic achievement standards. It is a written commitment indicating how all members of a school community – parents, teachers, principals, students, and concerned community members – agree to share responsibility for improved student achievement. The underlying assumption is that a student’s academic success will improve when the home and school work together." (https://www.region10.org/r10website/assets/File/Developing%20a%20School-Parent%20Compact_2014.pdf)

Our compact was developed in collaboration with stakeholders and currently reads:

Bertram Elementary Staff commits to:

• setting a positive tone for learning for each child.
• participating in decisions relating to the education of each child through a mutually respectful relationship with families.
  
• sharing a mutually respectful relationship with students, families, and the community.
  
• encouraging students to take risks, even when things are hard.

• supporting my child’s learning by ensuring that he/she has proper rest and nutrition.

• supporting my child’s learning by ensuring that he/she attends school on time and on a regular basis.

• supporting my child’s learning by reading with him/her.

• setting a positive tone for learning with my child.

• participating in decisions relating to the education of my child through a mutually respectful relationship with school staff.

• share a mutually respectful relationship with school staff.

• supporting my child’s class/school (i.e. communicating with my child’s teachers, helping in class/school, attending school events when possible, etc.).

• encouraging my child to take risks, even when things are hard.

As a Bertram student, I commit to:

• following school-wide expectations of being respectful, responsible, cooperative, and safe.

• doing my best.

• asking for help when needed.

If you have ideas to contribute to this compact, we want to hear your thoughts! Please email your suggestions to choffman@burnetcisd.net.

As a Title 1 School, we survey our parents each year about your child's experience at our school. Parent feedback is used to improve systems, meet student and family needs, and increase family engagement.

We hope you can join us for the first PTO meeting of the year, Wednesday, Sept. 4th at 5:30 pm in the Bertram Elementary Cafeteria. Everyone is welcome!
