School Parent Compact
-
It is a written commitment describing how all members of a school community- parents, teachers, principles and students, agree to share responsibility for students learning. The compact helps bridge the learning connection between school and home.
Did You Know?
Parents, students, teachers and faculty members 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. This compact is uniquely developed to meet the needs and goals of our school and students.
