What is a School-Parent Compact?

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students, and teachers develop together. It outlines how parents, staff, and students will share the responsibility for improving academic achievement.  This compact explains how the school and parents will build a partnership that will help children achieve success on state-required standards.

Teachers and staff at Syringa Middle School will:
