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 Middle 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 OR SUGGSTIONS AT ANY TIME.

AT HOME:
Clinch County Middle 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:
Go over and discuss the strategies in the Journey’s Home Letter each week with my child.
Read over and discuss the Eureka Parent Letter with my child on each new topic.
Use the Google Classroom login information provided to view videos and resources to help my child with Reading & Math.

STUDENT:
Clinch County Middle 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 and discuss with my family the strategies in the weekly Journey’s Home Letter.
Read and discuss with my family the new topics on each Eureka Parent Letter.
Use the Google Classroom login information provided by my teacher to view instructional videos and resources.
