School-Parent Compact

SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT 2024-2025

For the 2024-2025 School year, Central Dauphin East Middle School will be participating in both a 6-8 reading and 6-8 math program to help supplement the students’ general education classroom curriculum as part of our Title I program. We have a Reading Specialist that will serve as a literacy coach for our ELA teachers and a Math Interventionist that will serve as a math coach for our math teachers. Both the Reading Specialist and Math Interventionist will work with small groups of students using research-based interventions that will be progress monitored throughout the school year.

The completion of a home/school compact is an essential component of the Title I program. This compact outlines how the parents/guardians, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibilities for improved academic achievement and the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve at high standards.
