Parent Engagement Plan
What is a School-Parent Compact?
Our annual school-parent compact is a written commitment describing how all members of a school community-parents, teachers, principals, and students-agree to share responsibility for student learning.
This compact helps bridge the learning connection between school and home.
Jointly-Developed
This compact is uniquely developed to meet the needs and goals of our students. Parents, students, teachers and faculty members work together to develop our school-parent compact. Each school year, two meetings are held for parents, teachers, and students to compare the compact with school data to review our progress and assess our goals.
