Dear Parent/Guardian:

We value your role in working to help your child achieve high academic standards. The following is an outline of some of the ways you, school staff, and students can build and maintain a partnership to share the responsibility for supporting your child’s learning.

SCHOOL’S RESPONSIBILITY:

· Provide high quality curriculum and learning materials.

· Provide you with assistance in understanding academic achievement standards, assessments, how to monitor your child’s progress, and information about behavioral procedures and guidelines.

· Provide opportunities for ongoing communication between you and teachers through, at a minimum:

* annual parent/teacher conferences,

* frequent reports regarding your child’s progress, and

* opportunities to talk with staff, volunteer in class, and observe classroom activities.

PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY:

• Encourage your child to attend school regularly, be on time, and be well rested and ready to learn.
• Encourage your child to show positive school behavior.
• Review your child’s homework.
• Monitor television watching and encourage positive use of your child’s extracurricular time.
• Volunteer in your child’s school and classroom if time or schedule permits.
• Attend parent-teacher conferences and participate, when appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of your child.
• Be supportive of school’s discipline policies.

STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Do my homework every day and ask for help when I need to.
• Read daily outside of school time.
• Give to my parents or the adult who is responsible for my welfare all notices and information received by me from my school every day.
• Come to school on time and be ready to learn with necessary supplies.
• Be respectful of others and myself.

WE AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER
