Title 1 Parent Compact

🐾 Welcome to the Sherrelwood Family! 🐾

Our Collaborative Learning Compact

At Sherrelwood Elementary, we believe that when schools and families team up, our students don’t just learn—they thrive! We are a diverse community, rich in culture and language, and we are committed to working together as partners to help every child reach their full potential. Using our ROARS vision (Respect, Open Communication, Achievement, Responsibility, and Safety), we commit to the following:

---

🤝 Working Together (Collaboration & Inclusivity)

• Our Promise: We celebrate our diverse backgrounds. We will include families in shaping our school’s vision and making big decisions.
• Your Part: Share your unique perspective! Join us for meetings or school events to help us grow as a community. 🌎✨

🗣️ Staying Connected (Communication)

• Our Promise: We will keep you updated on your child’s progress through Empower and provide clear, timely information about what they are learning.
• Your Part: Reach out when you have questions! Check Empower regularly and keep the conversation going with your child’s teacher. 📱💬

🧠 Heart & Mind (Social-Emotional Learning)

• Our Promise: We focus on the whole child, teaching the social and personal skills needed to be a kind, successful 21st-century citizen.
• Your Part: Support your child’s emotional growth at home by practicing empathy, problem-solving, and the ROARS values together. ❤️🦁

📚 Learning at Home & School (Homework & Goals)

• Our Promise: We’ll share specific "Learning Targets" and teaching strategies so you know exactly how to support your child’s academic goals.
• Your Part: Create a quiet space for homework and curiosity. Use the strategies we share to bridge the gap between the classroom and the living room. 📖✏️

⏰ Showing Up (Attendance & Consistency)

• Our Promise: We will create a safe, welcoming environment where your child feels they belong every single day.
• Your Part: Help your child arrive on time and ready to learn. Every day at school is a step toward their future success! 🎒☀️

Our Shared Goal

Together, we agree to be knowledgeable partners. We will evaluate our progress every year to make sure our partnership is working for every student and every family.
