School-Family Compact 2023-2024

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:

For School Employees - We will provide a high quality curriculum, effective and appropriate instruction, and a safe and supportive learning environment.  We will respect and honor parents’ rights to be involved in decisions about their child’s education.  We will encourage our students’ effort.  We will enforce our school wide expectations  while preserving each student’s dignity. We will communicate with parents regularly. We will abide by the highest standards of our profession. Most importantly we will encourage all students to reach their fullest potential. 

For Families - We will support our child’s learning by ensuring that he/she is at school on time, has good attendance, and we communicate regularly with the school staff.  We will encourage our child’s efforts to be an active learner and meet school wide expectations each day.  We will help to maintain a positive learning environment by supporting the faculty and staff as we mutually enforce the school’s rules and set a standard of excellence in the classroom.  We will participate in decisions about our child’s education in order to ensure that our child reaches his/her full potential .

For Students - I will do the best I can to succeed while being an active learner. I will respect the rights, property, and feelings of other people.  I will work to make my school a safe and pleasant place by following classroom rules and school wide expectations. I will ask for help when needed and help others when they need it. I will do my best everyday to be the best student leader and citizen that I can be.  

For All Parties - We have the right to expect that the other parties to this compact will act responsibly, be respectful of others, and set a good example.
