This school-parent compact is in effect during the 2025-2026 school year.
Our school believes that students are more successful at reaching their full academic potential when families and school staff work together as partners. Myhre Elementary School and the families of the students participating in activities, services, and programs funded by Title I agree that this compact outlines how they will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and the means by which the school and families will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the State’s high standards.
