The Reynoldsburg City Schools learning community of teachers, support staff, administrators, and families have written this compact to outline how we share responsibility for student learning and academic achievement. This compact describes how the school and families will build a partnership that will help children achieve Reynoldsburg City Schools’ and Ohio’s high standards.
Our District’s Responsibilities
- Provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables children to meet the State’s student learning standards by providing targeted academic and behavioral supports, ensuring a safe and comfortable learning environment, regularly monitoring progress, and providing enrichment activities to enhance and support higher-level learning.
- Hold parent-teacher conferences twice per year during which time this compact will be discussed as it relates to the individual child’s achievement.
- Provide parents with frequent reports on their child’s progress, including interim reports and quarterly report cards.
- Provide parents reasonable access to staff, including but not limited to regular communication via phone and voicemail, e-mail, written notes in the child’s agenda or folder, and parent-teacher conferences.
- Provide parents opportunities to support their child’s education and the education of all students by participating in school and district activities and events or by volunteering for the school or district. *
