What is a School-Parent
Compact?
A School-Parent Compact 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:
Family Activities at
Cedartown High School
Based on the Spring parent involvement
survey results, parents requested the
following parent programs for 2015-2016:
Bulldog Academy–
Link to goals of the school improvement plan Move On When Ready/Dual Enrollment
Night
Focus on student learning skills Annual Title I Meeting
Describe how teachers will help students develop those skills using high-quality instruction. Financial Aid Night
Writing Workshop
Share strategies parents can use at home National Honor Society Induction
Explain how teachers and parents will
communicate about student progress. Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer,
observe, and participate in the classroom. At Cedartown High School the parents,
teachers, and students developed this compact
to increase student achievement. Teachers
described what students would be expected to
learn and suggested ways parents would be
able to support the learning. Parents added
ideas to make them more specific, and students
explained what would help them learn. The
compact is referred to at all parent meetings and
input is recorded. An annual meeting is held to
re- view and revises the compact based on
student needs and data. If you have questions
about your child’s progress please contact your
child’s teacher by phone at 770-7480490 CEDARTOWN HIGH

student performance data
and decided on goals for
the school.
All students will become
proficient in language arts,

their families to support students’ success in
becoming proficient in all core subject areas.
Some of our key connections with students will
be:
 Provide credit recovery and remediation
through Directed Studies  Incorporate technology  Recommend students for after school
tutoring At home:
CHS Parents joined staff to develop ideas about
how families can support students’ success in becoming proficient in all core subject areas. The
parents came up with these ideas:
 Stay in contact with the Parent Involvement
Coordinator about their child’s progress in
Directed Studies
 Look into college and careers at home for their
child
 Use technology at home
 Provide college and career preparation
through TAA Cedartown High School Students:

connections between learning at home and school:
� Show up on time every day to school
� Be responsible for their iPads
� Show up on time for Directed Studies
� Pay attention, study and use the opportunities available to further their education
