Title I Parental Involvement Program

Revised August 23, 2013
The mission of Loganville Middle School is to provide our students with the opportunity to learn and the challenge to develop their talents and abilities to full potential.

What is a Compact?
The compact outlines how parents, the entire school staff, and students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a partnership to help children achieve the State’s high standards.

How is the Compact Developed?
The compact is jointly developed and revised annually with input from parents, school staff, and students. Each student/parent will receive a copy of the compact at the beginning of the school year and will be asked to provide feedback. Parents may review the compact on the school website or at Open House.

Parents are encouraged to promote
Learning at Home through:
1. Exposing your child to a wide variety of reading materials (newspapers, magazines, books, Internet Web sites) and be ready to discuss what he or she has learned.
2. Making math part of everyday life. Cooking, gardening, paying bills, balancing a checkbook, and even shopping are all good ways to use math.
3. Asking your child to explain his or her thinking. Ask lots of questions. Teenagers should be able to explain their reasoning, how they came up with the right answer, and why they chose one answer over another..
