Students at Home and at School

Every child is expected to work toward mastery of the Georgia Standards of Excellence. While the commitment and work of parents and teachers significantly impact student achievement, students also play an important part in their own growth, progress, and learning. In order to maximize academic growth this school year, students will:

Bring home monthly school newsletter and share it with family members.

Complete homework nightly and submit assignments on time.

Read 20-30 minutes each night.

Set academic goals and work to achieve those goals.

Teachers, Parents, and Students – Together for Success

Goals for

Student

Achievement

At Home As a child’s first teacher, parents play a vital

role in ensuring the academic success of their

children and have a substantial impact on their

academic achievement, school attendance, self-

esteem, and motivation to succeed. In an effort

to help students meet or exceed learning goals,

Taylor County Upper Elementary School

parents commit to support the children,

teachers, and school by:

Reviewing student planners daily and

discussing assignments with students.

Checking the weekly Communication

Folder for up-to-date grade level

information.

Encouraging students to read for at

least 20 minutes each day.

Attending school-wide events to learn

academic strategies that can be used at

home.

Motivating students to set and work

toward personal learning goals, such as

their Accelerated Reading (AR) goal.

\

In the 6th Grade Classroom Teachers will work with students and their

families to support students’ success in reading

and math with a focus on reading for information,

making inferences and constructed response.

Teachers will:

Provide families with updates on

homework, quizzes, tests, projects, and

other important information through the

weekly Communication Folder.

Provide families with books on the

student’s reading level so that they can

read together at home.

Provide families with login information

for PathBlazer and USA Test Prep for

students to work on mastery of

academic standards.

Provide families with information about

school-wide events to learn academic

strategies to practice at home.

Provide students an opportunity to write

their assignments in their student

planner daily.

What is a School-Parent Compact?

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an

agreement that parents, students, and teachers

develop together. It explains how parents and teachers

will work together to make sure all our students reach

grade-level standards. This compact helps bridge the

learning connections between school and home.

Jointly Developed

This compact is developed to meet the needs

and goals of our school and students.

The parents, students and staff of Taylor

County Upper Elementary School worked

together to develop this School-Parent

Compact.

Meetings are held each spring to review the

compact and make changes based on student

needs.

Parents are welcome to contribute comments

at any time. If you would like to provide

feedback or volunteer to participate in the

parent involvement process, please contact
