El Sausal Middle School

 

El Sausal's Parent and Family Engagement Policy seeks to provide tools to enhance the parental role in children's learning both at home and at school. The school strives to design programs that build on the strength of its population, seeking opportunities to invite parent and community participation in school activities, and creating partnerships between those involved in student's success. These partnerships create relationships that contribute to student achievement and that respond to the unique needs of middle school students and their families. 

 

This compact is a written document to be signed annually by the parent, student and school administrator.
