Walton County School District
Loganville Middle School-Parent Compact for Student Success
Title I Family Engagement Program
2016-2017
Revised September 15, 2016
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. Thinking out loud when you are using math skills so your child will hear your thinking process and know that there are multiple ways to solve problems.
2. Modeling the importance of math in the real world by encouraging your child to help you figure the cost of lunch at a restaurant or the cost of X number of minutes of cell phone use if you pay X cents/minutes.
3. Encouraging literacy at home by encouraging all family members to engage in storytelling.
4. Encouraging writing practice is to have family members leave notes for one another on a regular basis. Leaving a note in a lunch box, taping a note to the mirror, or slipping a note under a pillow can reinforce the importance of writing to communicate information.
