| | Principal's Office: Reference - A Compact for Learning: An Action Handbook for Family-School-Community Partnerships (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | A compact is a written commitment indicating how all members of a school community -- parents, teachers, principals, students, and concerned community members -- agree to share responsibility for student learning. |
 | | The family-school compact from Signal Hill Elementary School in Long Beach, California, focuses on improving students' academic achievement by setting high expectations for all students and for all of the school's partners. |
 | | The handbook is intended for the use of the compact team, whether it is a new group or an existing group, such as the site-based management council, a family-school advisory group, the local PTA, or any other group that works closely with the school. |
