School-Parent Compact
Students, families, and teachers sharing responsibility for student success.
Dear South families and students,
Our School-Parent Compact is a promise we make together. Developed jointly with parents, students, teachers, and administrators, it describes how students, families, and school staff will share the responsibility for improving student achievement and helping every student meet California’s high academic standards. Each fall, teachers review the compact with students during advisory, and it is discussed with families at parent-teacher conferences.
Our Shared Commitments
Students
Because I want to be successful in school, I will:
- Be on time and arrive prepared with supplies, completed work, and school uniform.
- Be an actively engaged learner and take ownership of my learning. Listen and speak politely and positively to encourage others during class activities.
- Complete daily homework assignments with my best effort and regularly check Aeries and eKadence for teachers’ feedback.
- Use good judgment to follow all school and classroom rules at all times. Follow attendance and tardy guidelines and use appropriate language and volume.
- Represent my school and community in a positive way. Keep myself safe by being where I am expected to be, and use the 5 C’s (communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and character) each day.
Families
As a parent or guardian, I will:
- Make sure my child is ready to learn by arriving on time, well rested, fed, and with all needed materials.
- Learn about content standards, course curriculum, and classwork through monthly communication with teachers and by attending school events such as Parent Learning Walks.
- Provide a time and place for homework, use online tools to check assignments and grades, and talk with my child each day about what needs to be completed and how I can help.
- Provide positive reinforcement or appropriate consequences at home, as needed, to support school staff and community volunteers.
- Make sure my child practices good academic habits, even without homework, by reading, writing, speaking, and studying each day.
Teachers & Staff
As a teacher, I will:
- Provide instructional activities that build 21st century skills, including critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity (5 C’s), and provide quality instruction that meets state standards.
- Keep high expectations while adjusting to the needs of our students, and provide curriculum that is relevant to students’ lives.
- Design homework that reinforces skills taught in class, and be available to provide extra support whenever possible.
- Make sure students use the 5 C’s in class each day, recognize students who are doing the right thing, and make students the first priority, supporting them in non-academic ways too.
- Treat everyone on campus with respect, maintain fair and consistent academic and behavioral standards, and provide a curriculum letter with grading policies and classroom expectations.
