Pooler Elementary’s​​ School-Parent Compacts 4-5th Grade

Pooler Elementary’s​​ School-Parent Compacts 4th Grade

Pooler Elementary School students participating in the Title I, Part A program, and their families, agree that this compact outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement as well as describes how the school and parents/families will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the State’s high standards.

JOINTLY DEVELOPED

Families, teachers, and students received input in helping to create a School-Family Compact tailored to the needs of our students. This input was provided via the Family Forum held in the Spring of each school year, the Annual Evaluation Survey, and feedback provided after meetings throughout the year. Our next Title 1 Annual Family Forum will be held in March of 2025. Pooler Elementary School offers ongoing events and programs to build partnerships with families.
