PARENT-SCHOOL COMPACT

Every Title I school has a Parent-School Compact, which is a jointly developed agreement between the parent, teacher, and student. The compact outlines what teachers and parents need to do to help children meet the school’s academic standards. This agreement give parents an opportunity to be involved in their children’s education and it lets parents know what the school is doing to meet its educational goals.

The compact explains how parents can be partners with the school.

  • Be a school volunteer
  • Join a parent organization such as the PTA or the Title I Parent Advisory Council
  • Attend parent workshops and parent-teacher conferences
  • Encourage your child to follow school rules.

The school has responsibilities under the compact, too.

  • Make school a positive place
  • Work towards excellence
  • Make school requirements clear
  • Support learning through homework and special program services
    • after-school activities
    • adult education programs
    • parent workshops
    • flexible meeting times

What about students’ responsibilities? Children do better in school when they have the combined support of teachers, other staff, and parents. In the compact, children agree to abide by the following rules.

  • Complete all school work
  • Come to school prepared
  • Show respect.

You can find out more about compacts by talking to the Title I teachers in your school. You can also contact the Office of Compensatory Programs (757-925-6759) or the Parent Resource Center (757-934-6202) for Title I information.
