School-Parent/Family Compact

9th Grade

Graduation Cohort 2029

Sol C. Johnson High School

School Year 2025 - 2026

Revision Date: 08/04/2025

 

Johnson High School students participating in the Title I, Part A program, and their families, agree that this compact outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement as well as describes how the school and parents/families will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the State’s high standards.

 

JOINTLY DEVELOPED 

This compact was the joint effort of families, students, teachers, and administration. Each member of the “development” team offered their input into how we can help students achieve success during a Family Forum, answering survey questions, and feedback from family meetings/workshops.

The parents, students, and staff of Johnson High School partnered together to develop this school-parent compact for achievement. Teachers suggested home learning strategies, parents added input about the types of support they needed, and students told us what would help them learn. Parents are encouraged to attend annual revision meetings held in the Spring each year to review the compact and make suggestions based on student needs and school improvement goals. Parents are also encouraged to participate in the annual Title I parent survey that is also used as a tool to collect parent feedback regarding the current Title I programs and policies.

 

To understand how working together can benefit your child, it is first important to understand the district’s and school’s goals for student academic achievement.
