What is a School–Parent Compact? 3753 Vickers Crossing Road Ambrose, GA 31512 Revised 05-30-2024 Jointly Developed The parents, students, and staff of Ambrose Elementary 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. These help 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. Parents are welcome to contribute comments at any time. dawn.hester@coffee.k12.ga.us Building Partnerships Join us throughout the year as we provide an equitable education for every child.
