- Have a Parent Engagement Plan and School Parent Compact that is shared with all parents, we recommend distributing the Parent School Compact and Parent Engagement Plan during registration to ensure you share it with most, if not all your parents.

The School Parent Compact outlines the schools and parents responsibility in raising student achievement.
