Family/Parent-School Compact

2019-2020

Kindergarten

Revision Date:

4/25/2019

A school compact is a written agreement

between a school, its parents and stu-

dents. The compact gives strategies to

help support students’ success in school.

The compact explains what families and

schools can do to make a connection for

the student between the two “worlds” they

live in, home and school.

Parents, students and the school work

together to create a group of ideas that

can assist the student with realizing their

potential. This becomes the compact that

is signed as an agreement by all those

involved in the child’s education.
