School & Home Compact


What is a school & home compact?

 The school and family compact is a voluntary agreement between the school and the parents of the children at that school. A compact outlines how parents, the school staff and students will share responsibility for improved student achievement in meeting the Learning Results. Compacts begin with standards; are a process; define everyone’s responsibilities; and depend on many people believing and using it.
