Families

School-Parent Compact Letter

Our school and the families of the students participating in activities, services, and programs funded by Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), agree that this compact outline how the families, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and how the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the State’s high standards.

It is the school’s responsibility to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables children to meet the challenging State academic standards. It is the parent’s responsibility to support their children’s learning. For each to do these things, the school and families must have strong, ongoing communication and work to be equal partners in supporting student success. The MPS Family and Community Engagement Framework includes six standards that when met, allow for this partnership to flourish. The following compact will serve as our action plan around family and community engagement for this school year.
