School- Parent Compacts
School-Parent Compacts Must Address:
• The responsibility of the campus to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction and the ways in which parents will be responsible for supporting their children’s learning.
• The importance of ongoing communication and means of communication (parent-teacher conferences, progress reports, access to staff.)
DEVELOP
School-Parent Compacts:
• Are required at the campus level only, AND teacher-parent conferences are required at the elementary school where the compact is discussed.
• Are developed jointly by school administrators and teachers along with parents.
