School / Family Compact

  • A school-parent compact is a way to create a partnership between the school and home that focuses on helping students be successful. This compact will help explain how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all of our students reach grade level expectations. The parents, students and staff worked together and shared ideas to develop the school-parent compact. During our annual Title I committee meeting and our campus improvement committee meetings, the school-parent compact is discussed, reviewed, and revised based on the school’s academic goals and student’s needs.

What is Title I?

  • Title I is the nation’s largest federal program for schools. It provides funding for increasing student achievement in schools based on the economic level of families in a school’s attendance area. Funds can be used for teachers,  instructional materials, instructional coaches, tutors and parent involvement. 

    The purpose of Title I is as follows:

    • Help every child receive a high quality education
    • Build capacity for parent involvement
    • Meet the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act* federal law mandates

    One percent of our Title I funds is set aside for parent involvement at the elementary campuses. This money provides for family events such as “Family Math Night.” parent workshops, and curriculum nights.  

     * This replaces “ No Child Left Behind.”

Parent Involvement - We need you!

  • Parents are an important part of our team! You influence your child’s education more than any teacher. Studies have shown that parent involvement boosts students achievement, lowers absenteeism, increases confidence, and even improves behavior. By becoming involved in your child’s school life, you are showing that you care and support what they are doing. In turn, it shows them that learning is rewarding and important. 

    How Can Parents Be Involved?

    • Attend Open House.
    • Attend Parent/Teacher conferences.
    • Join the Parent Teacher Association (PTA).
    • Participate in field trips, class activities, projects, and volunteer programs.
    • Become a Mentor!
    • Join us for Parent Nights, Family Nights and Learning Workshops.

    YOU are the MOST important person in your child’s education.

    YOU are the biggest influence on your child’s life.

    Use that influence to put your child on the pathway to success!

  • Notice
