R. C. Lipscomb Elementary

School-Family Compact 2023-2024

School Mission: The mission of R.C. Lipscomb Elementary is to encourage students to make the most of their potential to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners, and to produce self-reliant, productive citizens. 

The School Family Compact is an agreement and commitment between the family and the school to help ensure the success of  the student.  The parties to this compact acknowledge that we share the responsibility for improved student achievement.  Each of us has an important role in promoting learning.  Being mindful of our responsibilities, we pledge the following:

• Support the school staff and respect cultural differences of others
