Goals for

Student

Achievement

Students at Home and at School

Every child is expected to work toward mastery of the Georgia Standards of Excellence. While the commitment and work of parents and teachers significantly impact student achievement, students also play an important part in their own growth, progress, and learning. In order to maximize academic growth this school year, students will:

Remind parents and family members about family curriculum nights.

Bring home monthly newsletter and share it with family members.

Read 20-30 minutes each night.

Practice multiplication facts every day.

Set academic goals and work to achieve those goals.

Teachers, Parents, and Students – Together for Success

At Home As a child’s first teacher, parents play a vital role

in ensuring the academic success of their children

and have a substantial impact on their academic

achievement, school attendance, self-esteem, and

motivation to succeed. In an effort to help

students meet or exceed learning goals, Taylor

County Upper Elementary School parents commit

to support the children, teachers, and school by:

Reviewing student planners daily and

discussing with students assignments,

vocabulary words and math skills that

they are learning.

Encouraging students to read for at least

20 minutes each day.

Practicing multiplication facts daily.

Attending school-wide events to learn

academic strategies that can be used at

home.

Motivating students to set and work

toward personal learning goals.

In the 4th Grade Classroom Teachers will work with students and their

families to support students’ success in reading

for comprehension (understanding), as well as the

mastery of math facts by the end of 4th grade.

Teachers will:

Provide families with books on the

student’s reading level so that they can

read together at home.

Provide families with login information

for Pathblazer and USA Test Prep for

students to work on mastery of

academic standards.

Offer at least one math and one literacy

family night, where teachers will

demonstrate academic strategies that can

be practiced at home.

Our monthly newsletter will feature a

list of apps and family-friendly websites

for building vocabulary and math skills.

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 our students reach

grade-level standards. This compact helps bridge the

learning connections between school and home.

Jointly Developed

This compact is developed to meet the needs

and goals of our school and students.

The parents, students and staff of Taylor

County Upper Elementary School worked

together to develop this School-Parent

Compact.

Meetings are held each spring to review the

compact and make changes based on student

needs.

Parents are welcome to contribute comments

at any time. If you would like to provide

feedback or volunteer to participate in the

parent involvement process, please contact
