Leaders of the Pack
At Shady Grove Elementary, we value character! The "Leader of the Pack" award is given to students who are caught demonstrating things such as responsibility, diligence, integrity, kindness, etc! Today, we introduce the first Leaders of the Pack for the 24/25 school year! Here's what their teachers had to say...
"Luke has amazing manners. He is setting the example of what a leader is by always following directions and being proactive."
"Elan encourages others and is checking on friends. He is always smiling and asking how he can help."
"Junior was such a big help with younger student at bus dismissal. He helped get them to their holding place."
Way to be, Luke, Elan, and Junior (and Moms & Dads)!
Academics + CHARACTER = Success

The School-Parent Compact
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:
As a school, we will:
Provide a high-quality effective learning environment that is safe and that enables the student to meet the state’s student academic achievement standards
Provide ongoing two-way communication between teachers and parents through parent-teacher-student conferences with frequent reports to parents
Provide reasonable access to staff through an “open door” policy
Provide opportunities for parents to volunteer and participate in their child’s school activities
Provide a mutually respectful relationship between all parties (students, parents, teachers, and volunteers)
As a parent, I will:
Support my child’s learning by ensuring that he/she has proper rest and nutrition and attends school on time and on a regular basis
Support my child’s learning by reading with him/her at least Monday through Thursday nights
Help set a positive tone for learning with my child
Participate in decisions relating to the education of my child through a mutually respectful relationship with school staff
Provide a mutually respectful relationship between all parties (students, parents, teachers, and volunteers)
Support my child’s class/school (i.e. communicating with my child’s teachers, helping in class/school, attending school events when possible, etc.)
Check and electronically sign my student’s grades each six week period on Family Access
If you have ideas to contribute to this compact, we want to hear your thoughts! Please email your suggestions to aohair@burnetcisd.net.
