A Letter from Principal Vitello
September 26, 2019
Dear Parents:
Your child’s success in school cannot be ensured by the schools or parents alone! We must both work together toward this common goal. Studies indicate that students do much better in school when their parents actively participate in this process. Therefore, we wish to ensure that you have an opportunity to share in your child’s educational experience.
Your child’s school is receiving funds from Title I under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). These funds are provided to guarantee the educational success of ALL STUDENTS in our school. Title I also requires that each school develop, jointly with parents, a School-Parent Compact that outlines how parents, staff and students will share responsibility for improved student achievement. Attached, please find a copy of the School-Parent Compact which was developed with parent representatives. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this compact.
Throughout the school year, you will be given many opportunities to be involved in your child’s education. We will hold informational meetings, workshops and activities, and will provide resources to support home-school communication. Please monitor your child’s academic progress, get involved in school activities, and volunteer whenever possible! Join us in our efforts to ensure your child’s success.
Together we can make a difference in our children’s lives and our community!
Sincerely,
Diane Vitello
Principal
