What is a School-Parent Compact?

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all students reach grade-level standards.
Effective compacts:
Link to goals of the School Improvement Plan
Focus on student learning skills
Describe how teachers will help students develop those skills using high-quality instruction
Share strategies parents can use at home
Explain how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress
Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer, observe, & participate in the classroom.

Jointly Developed

The parents, students and staff of Clinch County Elementary School developed this School-Parent Compact for Achievement. Teachers suggested home learning strategies, parents had ideas to make them more specific, and students told us what would help them learn. Meetings are held each year to review the Compact and to make changes based on student needs.
* PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO CONTRIBUTE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS AT ANY TIME.

AT HOME:
Clinch Elementary School parents joined staff to develop ideas about how families can support students’ success in reading and math and help with attendance. Families may have other ideas to add but these are a few that will help us attain our goals at home:
Read the provided Cold-Reads each night with my child that is provided.
Read over the “Week In Focus” newsletters and talk about the skills with my child each week.
Review the weekly math Review sheet.
Use the Google Classroom login information provided to view videos and resources to help my child with Reading & Math.

STUDENT:
Clinch Elementary School students joined staff and parents to develop ideas about how they can succeed in school and achieve our goals. Students came up with the following ideas to make connections between learning at home and at school:
Bring home all communications and school newsletters to my parents.
Read with my family the Cold-Reads materials each night.
Go over and talk with my family the weekly “Week In Focus” newsletter and discuss the skills that I am learning each week.
Practice the weekly Math Review sheets each night with my family.
