Home School Compact
Partners in Learning Agreement
Education is a team effort. This compact outlines the ways that we can work together because we know that children learn from adults. Adults realize that love, caring, encouragement, positive support, and wholesome, nurturing environments are critical to the healthy development of every child. We are committed to working together, with each of us doing our best to promote the achievement of every student. Students perform better in school when they have the combined support from teachers, support staff, and parents. Please become partners in learning with us by reviewing this school compact with your child (our shared student) and returned the signed tear-off to school. Please refer to this agreement throughout the school year.
