In order to achieve high standards of education we must develop and maintain a partnership between parents, students and school personnel. This compact promotes understanding and cooperation by clarifying mutual and separate responsibilities and expectations. We understand that a child's education will reach its potential only if all in the partnership agree and meet their responsibilities.

I want my child to achieve. Therefore, I will encourage him/her by doing the following:

• See that my child is punctual and attends school regularly.

• Provide my child with needed supplies.

• Support the school in its effort to maintain discipline.

• Establish a time for homework.

• Encourage and praise my child's efforts and be available for questions.

• Read with my child and let my child read to me.

• Attend parent-teacher conferences and special events to show my interest and support.

• Communicate, model and expect positive values and character traits.

• Review the child's work (homework and school work) daily.

• Discuss with the child what they have learned at school each day.

• Be a role model for my child concerning conflicts and their resolutions.
