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.
Effective compacts:
 Link to goals of the school
improvement plan
 Focus on student learning skills
 Describe how teachers will help
students develop those skills using
high-quality instruction
 Share strategies parents can use at
home
 Explain how teachers and parents
will communicate about student
progress
 Describe opportunities for parents to
volunteer, observe, and participate in
the classroom

Teachers, Families, and Students – Together
For Success
The families, students, and staff of Chestatee Elementary
School developed this School-Parent-Student Compact
for Achievement. Teachers suggested home learning
strategies, families added ideas to make them more
specific, and students told us what would help them
learn. Meetings are held each year to review the
Compact and make changes based on student needs.
Parents are welcome to contribute comments
at any time!
