The parents, students and staff will work jointly to share ideas to develop the school-parent compact. All parents are invited to provide
input on the school-parent compact though a variety of means through surveys, Annual Title 1 Meetings and workshops. We will
annually review and revise the compact based on the school’s academic achievement goals and the student’s needs. Campbell
Elementary School, students participating in the Title I, Part A program, and their families, agree that this compact outlines how the
parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement as well as
