    School-Family Compact Submit Your Feedback

    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 - At Ransom Middle School we believe that all students can learn and be successful.  Our purpose is to create an environment which will enable each student to understand that learning is a lifelong process.  The faculty is committed to providing rigorous academic courses to challenge students in order to prepare them so that they may excel in high school, college, and the workforce.

    For Students - I will do the best I can to succeed.  I will respect the rights of others including their beliefs, property and well-being.  I will work to make my school a safe and pleasant place by following school rules and showing good behavior.  I will ask for help when I need assistance with my academic progress.

    For Parents and Guardians -   We realize how important we are to our child’s education.  By showing interest in our child’s education, we can spark enthusiasm and lead them to an understanding that learning is well worth the effort required.  We will support our child's education by ensuring the following: 

    • Helping them to attend school each day and be on time to school and submit absence verification form 

    • Read every night

    • Checking Chromebook/homework/Focus gradebook/Webpage/RMS Facebook page/Canvas

    • Being proactive in communicating with the school i.e. schedule teacher/parent conferences 

    • Utilize school based and community resources to include following student progress on the parent portal

    • Update current information through the front office          

                                                                                                

    Communication –Communication between a teacher and family member is paramount for a child’s success.  We communicate in various avenues:

    Call outs     Parent Conference     School Website     Positive calls/notes from teachers     Email     Parents join PTA/SAC      Parent Portal/Focus Gradebook     Facebook page     Marque     Remind App

    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.
