Parent and Family Engagement Compact

A school-parent compact is an agreement between families and the school. It explains shared goals, expectations, and responsibilities. The compact helps teachers and families work together to support every child’s success. Valley’s school-parent compact was developed through collaborative efforts among parents/guardians, students, and staff. Teachers actively engaged with their subject area teams to devise practical strategies for parents/guardians to implement at home. Valuable feedback from parents/guardians regarding their needs in supporting their students was provided. Additionally, students contributed their ideas which were incorporated into the compact.

To ensure the effectiveness o f our compact, annual meetings are conducted to assess and modify the compact based on the school's academic achievement goals and the evolving needs of the students. Parents/guardians are encouraged to offer feedback on the compact throughout the school year, with all input being collected and reviewed during the yearly revision meeting with parents/guardians. For more information on the school-parent compact, please feel free to contact us at 806-455-1411 or visit our website www.valleypatriots.com.
