School-Parent Compacts
A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an
agreement that parents, students, and teachers will
work together to make sure all our students reach
grade-level standards. We will share the responsibility
for improved student academic achievement and the
means by which the school and parents will build and
develop a partnership to help students achieve this
goal.


In May 24, 2015, a Parent Forum was held to
develop our school compacts with parents,
we sent our Annual Spring Survey for parent
input, teachers worked with our Title I
Program Manager to revise the compacts
In August 2015, compacts were sent home to
gain parent signatures.
In support of strengthening student
academic achievement, Hubert Middle
School receives Title 1 funds and we
must develop and distribute to
parents a written parental
involvement policy. The policy
establishes the school’s expectations
for parental involve ment and
describes how the school will
implement a number of specific
parental involvement activities. Our
Parental Involvement Policy is
incorporated into our school wide
Title 1 plan.
