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.

Communicating about Student Learning
Our Kindergarten team is committed to two-way communication with parents about their child’s learning. Some of the ways we plan to reach out to you are:
Updates on the school website and social media sites
Grade-level meetings on understanding student progress
Sending home papers daily
Monthly calendars
Marquee sign updated with upcoming events
Parent/Teacher Conferences in the fall and the spring of each school year
Alert Now messaging system sends out messages by phone, texts & e-mail
Utilize Class Tag with reminders, information and for communicating
If you have any questions about your child’s progress, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher by phone at (912)487-5385 to set up a meeting.

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 added 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.

Here at CCES, we strive to build partenerships with our parents by holding activities that our parents can come and participate in throughout the year. Some of the activities we do are:
Monthly Family Reading Night
Reading & Math Curriculum Nights
Winter Fest
Field Day
School Council Meetings
Parent-Teacher Conferences

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:
Practice the timed letter naming sheets with my child each night to help support my child’s fluency in Letter Naming.
Practice the letter naming flashcards that the teachers provided with my child each night.
Practice each night the timed number recognition sheets to help my child become more fluent in Number Recognition.
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 school communications and school newsletters to my parents.
Practice with my family the timed letter naming sheets nightly.
Practice with my family the letter naming flashcard sets each night.
Practice the timed number recognition sheets each night with my family.
Use the Google Classroom login information provided by my teacher to view instructional videos and resources.
