What is a School-Parent Compact? 

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that teachers, parents, and students develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all students reach 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 instruction. 
  • Share strategies parents can use at home. 
  • Explain how teachers and parents communicate about student progress. 
  • Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer, observe, and participate in the classroom. 

 

Jointly Developed 

The parents, students and staff of Continental Colony Elementary School developed this School-Parent Compact for Achievement. Teachers suggested home learning strategies, parents added ideas to make them more specific, and students told us what would help them learn. Meetings are held each year to review the Compact. 

Parents are welcome to provide suggestions and feedback at any time.

  • practice mathematical reasoning and problem solving daily. 
  • complete all assignments. 
  • ask for help when I need help.

At Home 

Continental Colony Elementary School’s parents/families joined staff to develop ideas about how families can support students success in reading. Families may have other ideas to add to this list.
