As a Title I school, Hutchinson  Elementary School and our families agree that this compact outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement, as well as describes how the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the state’s high standards.

The Hutchinson Elementary School (HES) School-Parent Compact is a written agreement between our school community and parents. This compact explains how the school administrators and teachers, students, and families will work together to make sure all our students reach and maintain grade-level standards. Please review this School-Parent Compact with your child. The School-Parent Compact will be discussed with you throughout the year at different school-family events as we work together to help your child succeed in school.

Jointly Developed

The parents, staff and students at Hutchinson Elementary School developed this School–Parent Compact in agreement and collaboration for the goal of academic achievement and student success. Our School-Parent Compact is reviewed and updated annually based on parent input.

We value this input, and our parents are welcome to contribute comments at any time.

Parent partnerships are vital to our school community and our school’s culture. Hutchinson Elementary School builds partnerships between the home and school by educating teachers, administration, and other staff by gathering input from our parents on how to communicate and collaborate with parents as equal educational partners. We invite our parents to connect with us at scheduled parent academic events, activities and workshops.

Hutchinson Elementary School is committed to communicating regularly with our families about their student’s academic growth and parents are always welcome to contribute input at any time.   Hutchinson Elementary School will communicate with parents in multiple ways:

• Parent Resource Center
• School Website
• Monthly Newsletter and Calendar
• Parent-Teacher Conferences
• Parent Portal
• Monthly Parent Meetings

As a parent/guardian, I am committed to supporting my child (ren) learning. Throughout the school year, I will regularly:

1. Provide a home environment that encourages my child to learn and accept new challenges by talking with my child everyday about school activities.
2. Communicate regularly with my child’s teachers and attend scheduled parent-teacher conferences to discuss ways I can help with reading and math strategies at home.
3. Attend parent meetings and training sessions provided at the school and visit the Parent Resource Center to learn more about my child’s educational resources. This will enable me to help my child learn vocabulary words and math concepts at home.

The Hutchinson Elementary School faculty and staff is committed working with students and their families to develop student’s Reading and Math competency according to grade level standards. To the following:

1. Provide a challenging learning environment by helping each student grow to their fullest potential in the subject areas of reading and math by providing additional instruction before and after school.
2. Provide meaningful and appropriate classroom and homework activities to ensure students understand math instructions on number sense, numbers and operations, measurements and problem solving.
