What is a School-Parent Compact?
The School-Parent Compact is a written agreement that outlines how our school, our students, and our families will work together to ensure the academic success of all students.

Building Partnerships

• Parents/Guardians are invited to attend Family Engagement Activities that are offered at the school.
• Parents/Guardians are encouraged to become active participants in student achievement.
• Parents/Guardians are encouraged to utilize the Parent Resource Room to check-out educational materials to continue at-home learning.
• Check the Parent Portal often. Parent Portal is an on-line information system where parents can view their child’s grades and progress. You cannot access this site without your Parent Portal letter. Simply, come to the school’s office (with a picture ID) to pick up your letter.
