SCHOOL/PARENT COMPACT SPANISH 2023-24


Dear Parent/Guardian,
Dalton High School, students participating in the Title I, Part A program, and their families, agree that this compact
outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student
academic achievement as well as describes how the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will
help children achieve the State’s high standards.
JOINTLY DEVELOPED
The parents, students, and staff of Dalton High School partnered together to develop this school-parent compact for
achievement. Teachers suggested home learning strategies, parents added input about the types of support they
needed, and students told us what would help them learn. Parents are encouraged to attend annual revision meetings
held each spring to review the compact and make suggestions based on student needs and school improvement goals.
Parents are also encouraged to participate in the annual Title I parent survey that is also used as a tool to collect parent
feedback regarding the current Title I programs and policies.
To understand how working together can benefit your child, it is first important to understand the district’s and school’s
goals for student academic achievement.
Dalton Public School GOAL:
Dalton Public Schools will increase the percentage of students scoring proficient or above in the core content areas
(English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies) by 6% as measured by Georgia Milestones Assessment from 2023
to 2024.
DALTON HIGH SCHOOL GOALS:
Dalton High School will improve academic achievement in the core content areas by increasing the percentage of
students who score proficient or above by 6% as measured by the Georgia Milestones Assessment (GMA) from 2023 to
