A. Z. Kelley Elementary Compact

The A. Z. Kelley staff, parents, and students will work as partners to foster a positive learning environment. This compact has been developed and describes school and family responsibilities. Our signatures indicate agreement to fulfill this compact to the best of our abilities.

As a staff we pledge to:

• Provide instruction for each student at his/her own pace.
• Provide a safe school environment that promotes learning.
• Show respect with our words and actions for each child and his/her family.
• Provide appropriate homework to reinforce the skills that have been taught at school.
• Communicate with parents regularly about their child’s progress.
• Schedule an annual parent-teacher conference to discuss academic and behavior progress.
• Come to school on time prepared to teach the approved state and local curriculum.

As a parent/guardian I (we) will:

• Read to my child or have my child read to me every day.
• Show respect with my words and actions for my child, other children and their families, the teachers, and the school.
• Provide a place for homework and check to see that all work is completed.
• Ask my child about schoolwork and activities every day.
• Communicate and work with the school to encourage my child’s learning and positive behavior.
• See that my child attends school regularly and on time.
• Communicate with the school about any changes in address or phone numbers.

As a student, I will:

Be responsible for my actions and behavior each day. I will listen, do my work and learn. I will respect the feeling, property, and rights of others. I will be a good citizen by doing what is right because it is the right thing to do for others and myself. I will always give my best effort and help others when they need help.
