Family/Parent-School Compact
2019-2020
First Grade
Revision Date:
4/25/2019
A school compact is a written agree-
ment between a school, its parents and
students. The compact gives strategies
to help support students’ success in
school.
The compact explains what families and
schools can do to make a connection for
the student between the two “worlds”
they live in, home and school.
Parents, students and the school work
together to create a group of ideas that
can assist the student with realizing
their potential. This becomes the com-
pact that is signed as an agreement by
all those involved in the child’s educa-
tion.
