Student-Parent Compact
What is a School-Parent Compact?
A School-Parent Compact is an agreement that parents, students, and teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all our students reach grade-level standards.
Effective compacts:
- Link to goals of the school improvement plan.
- Focus on student learning objectives
- Describe how teachers will help students develop those skills via 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, and participate in the classroom.
Jointly Developed
The parents, students, and staff of M. Agnes Jones developed this School-Parent Compact for Achievement. Teachers suggested home learning strategies and supports, 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 make changes based on student needs.
Parents are welcome to contribute comments at any time.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact Ms. Clay, Parent Liaison at 404-802-3900 or Laquanta.Clay@atlanta.k12.ga.us.
