Parent Compact

High Achievement for Each Student

The purpose of the parent-school compact is to communicate a common understanding of home and school responsibilities to assure that all students attain high standards and a quality education. This agreement is a three-way partnership with a specific goal in mind. It is important that each person assume his or her responsibilities. We, the DeWitt Perry Middle School community, establish this commitment in order to foster the core values of honesty, integrity, respect, trust and responsibility and to support the success of each student.

As a teacher/staff at DeWitt Perry Middle School, I pledge to:

  1. Believe in my students and will celebrate their efforts and successes as well as help each child reach his/her highest potential, socially and academically.
  2. Follow the school district’s instructional plan to ensure each student’s academic progress. I will honor the diversity of cultures and learning styles represented by our students.
  3. Communicate with parents frequently, through notes, folders and/or phone calls.
  4. Appreciate open communication and welcome parent visits.
  5. Schedule parent/teacher conferences to inform parents of student’s progress as well as provide frequent assessment and continuous feedback.
  6. Suggest ways that will help parents to work with their child at home and provide information on how parents can contribute to the class or school.
