Parent Compact

 It is important to have my child reach his/her full academic potential and succeed. Therefore, I will encourage him/her by doing the following items that are checked:

_____  see that my child attends school regularly and is punctual.

_____  supervise the completion of my child's homework according to the teacher's guidelines

_____  read progress reports and discuss them with the teacher, attend at least one parent/teacher conference either at the regularly-scheduled conference or at a convenient time to be arranged between the parent and teacher

_____  communicate expectations for my child's education to the teacher and notify the teacher of any significant events or changes in my child's life

_____  model respect by going to the teacher first about any concerns, trying to keep the lines of communication open, and understanding that there are two sides to every issue

_____  monitor both the amount of time my child spends online and the content viewed

_____  monitor both the amount of time my child spends watching television and the content viewed

_____  encourage daily reading at home
