WHAT IS A SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT?

A School-Parent Compact 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 students reach or exceed grade-level standards.

COMMUNICATION ABOUT STUDENT LEARNING

Communication between parents and teachers is crucial to student success. At 10th Street Elementary we provide various opportunities for teacher/parent communication including:

  1. parent conferences after each reporting period
  2. the availability of academic reports for parent viewing 
  3. opportunities to volunteer and participate throughout the year
  4. an open door policy for classroom observations
