The Compacts page has been updated for the 2019-2020 school year as of May 23, 2019. There were no significant changes to the content of these templates from the 2018-2019 versions.
This
webpage offers several different examples of school-parent compacts as
well as various useful tools. The Traditional Template outlines the
essential components that schools are required to include in the
compact. Additionally, schools can use the different Innovative
Templates designed for each school-level that also outline the required
components, but highlight specific academic strategies for schools,
parents, and students in a family-friendly format. Schools are
encouraged to use these samples in conjunction with the School-Parent
Compact Guide to Quality to ensure that their school-parent compacts are
effectively designed to meet Title I parent and family engagement
requirements and support student academic achievement.
