Dear Parent or Guardian:
We value what you do to help your child succeed in school. One part of our school's parent and family engagement policy is this school-parent compact. This compact is developed jointly with parents and identifies ways you and school staff can share the responsibility for supporting your child's learning.
School's Responsibility:
-
We will provide high quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment
-
We will provide you with assistance in understanding academic achievement standards and tests, how to track your child's progress, and how to establish an successful homework setting and routine
-
We will provide opportunities for regular communication between you and teachers through:
-
parent-teacher conferences,
-
frequent reports about your child's progress,
-
opportunities to talk with staff, volunteer in class, and observe classroom activities,
-
ensuring regular communication between family members and school staff to the extent possible, in a language that family members can understand
Parent's Responsibility:
-
-
Encourage your child to attend school regularly
-
Encourage your child to use positive school behavior
-
Set regular times for homework and support effort, completion, and correctness
-
Set limits on the amount of time your child spends in front of a screen such as a television,
smartphone, or computer and encourage positive use of your child's additional time
-
Volunteer in your child's school and classroom if time or schedule permits
-
Attend parent-teacher conferences and when it is appropriate, participate in decisions about the
education of your child.
