Haven 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

Input was received from families, teachers, and students in helping to create a School-Family Compact tailored to the needs of our students. This input is provided via the Family Forum held the Spring of each school year, the Annual Evaluation Survey, and feedback given at meetings throughout the year.

To understand how working together can benefit your child, it is first important to understand the District’s and school’s goals for student academic achievement.
