Jointly Developed
Communication about
Student Learning
The parents, students and staff of Rural Hall Elementary developed this School-Parent Compact. Teachers included strategies for student success, parents made suggestions to help clarify information, and students told us what would help them learn. Each year a meeting is held to review the compact with families.
