School and Parent Compact
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. (John Lubbock)
There is nothing more important than the teaching of our children. It is not a task to be completed by any one individual. It requires the dedication, and hard work of many people. To ensure success for each student a compact has been developed outlining how parents and the staff of Fielding Elementary will share the responsibility for improved academic achievement.
Fielding Elementary School Agrees to:
• Conduct a comprehensive needs analysis, analyze assessment data and gather other relevant information to accurately identify academic and social needs of students annually. Data will be gathered from state CRT and IOWA tests, district and school DIBELS testing, district block assessments as well as individual classroom assessments. We will use data from our school behavior program as well as information provided by parents. Using this information the school will create appropriate educational and remediation programs based on the state core curriculum.
• Provide research based curriculum and a variety of teaching methods that focus on best teaching practices in order to maximize student learning and success.
• Provide students in kindergarten through third grade small group literacy instruction based on their current reading level as identified by literacy professionals and assessments; including intervention and remediation for students performing below grade level.
• Employ highly qualified teachers and staff who are committed to continual excellence and professional development. Staff professional development will be on going throughout the year focusing on the needs of the school.
• Provide a safe and secure learning environment for all students.
• Involve parents and community by providing timely information about upcoming events and student progress at SEP conferences and through a web based grading program. We will share assessment data, develop goals and student services through the community council, provide parent information and transition activities for students moving into kindergarten.
Parents Agree to:
• Ensure that their children attend school in accordance with the district attendance policy.
• Monitor homework assignments and completion.
• Read with their children or help them read individually 20 minutes each night.
• Ensure their children get proper rest and nutrition.
• Be involved with and participate in school and classroom activities when time permits.
• Attend parent-teacher conferences and help foster communication with the teacher.
