What is a School-Parent Compact?

A School-ParentCompact 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 our students reach grade level standards.

Effective compacts:

  • Link to academic achievement goals
  • Focus on student learning
  • Share strategies that staff, parents, and students can use
  • Explain how parents and teachers can communicate about student progress
  • Describe opportunities for parents to observe, volunteer, and participate in the classroom.

Jointly Developed

The parents, students and staff provided their suggestions for developing MRMS school-parent compact. Leadership team, student council, and parents helped develop the commitment for compact. Meetings are held each year to review and revise compact based on school’s academic achievement goals and student’s need.

Parents are welcome to provide feedback on the compact anytime during the school year. This information will be collected and used during the annual revision meeting with parents. Please call 706-796-4992 or visit our website, for more information on school-parent compact.
