5th grade focus for student success
TRANSCRIPT
What is a School-Parent Compact?
A School-Parent Com-pact for Achievement is an agree-ment that parents, students, and
teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all of our stu-dents reach grade level standards.
Our Compact will Benefit everyone!
________________________
Jointly Developed
The parents, students, and
teachers of Ethel W. Kight Elemen-
tary developed this School-Parent
Compact for Achievement. Teachers
suggested home learning strategies,
parents added ideas to make them
more specific, and students told us
what would help them learn. Meet-
ings are held each year to review the
compact.
Parents are welcome to contribute
comments at any time!

In the Fifth Grade Classroom
The Fifth Grade teachers will work with stu-
dents and their families to support student
success. Some of our key connections with
families will be:
Weekly Newsletters, Class Tag,
phone calls, conferences, and Tues-
day Folders
Student-Led Parent Conferences will
be held twice a year in October and
in March.
Teachers will inform parents of re-
sources and strategies they can use
at home to assist student success.
At Home EKES parents joined staff to develop ideas about how families can support student suc-cess.
Keep open communication with teachers through Tuesday folders, conferences, ClassTag and phone calls. Assist students in studying and reading at home using parent letters in math and reading logs for reading. Ensure that students arrive to school on time and are present each day for the greatest learning possible.
Fifth Grade Students
Students joined staff and parents to develop
ideas about how they can succeed in school.
Students shared the following ideas:
Students will participate in their learning each day and ask questions when they lack understanding.
Students will complete 20 minutes of reading each night and study for unit tests using materials given.
Students will follow the BIG 3 of being respectful, responsible and safe in order to receive their best education.
Teachers, Parents, Students–
