Redwater Middle School
Redwater Middle School LIFE Matters
SCHOOL – PARENT COMPACT - 2017-2018 Each student will have access to a copy of the District Student Handbook. The updated District Student Handbook will be available for your viewing and/or down-loading from the district website along with the Student Code of Conduct at http://www.redwaterisd.org. If you do not have access to a computer, you may obtain a copy of the District Student Handbook and the Student Code of Conduct from the office. In order to keep involved in your child's education, we urge parents to keep in contact with teachers and administration not only for concerns but also to continue open communication for any reason. The teachers are the ones who are closest to most situations and will be the one who are most knowledgeable about details and facts. They have your child's best interest in mind and will work with you in any way possible to ensure his/her general wellbeing. If your concern is not resolved after talking with your child's teacher, then you are invited to contact the principal at the office and he will be happy to meet with you to address the situation. Through it all, we desire a harmoniuous partnership between home and school to ensure that students have a positive educational experience at Redwater Middle School. Please call on us if we can be of help as we begin this school year. The Redwater Independent School District and the parents of students in this district recognize the importance of cooperation between the school environment and the home environment. In an effort to build and develop a strong, responsible partnership that will help our students achieve their fullest potentials the following compact has been developed:
SCHOOL PLEDGE: The entire staff of Redwater Independent School District pledges to dedicate themselves to: provide a comprehensive academic curriculum which includes all Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, provide programs, technology and methods of instruction that meet the needs of all students, provide opportunities for parents to meet with teachers to discuss student progress, and provide appropriate staff development to ensure the faculty continuing educational opportunities. PARENT PLEDGE: As a parent of a child of this district, I pledge to accept responsibility for supporting my child’s learning. I will require regular and punctual school attendance and homework completion. I will notify the office when my son/daughter is going to be absent and provide written explanations for absences. I will get to know my son’s/daughter’s teachers, the school and the schedule of activities. I will monitor my child’s progress through report cards and teacher-parent conferences. I will participate in parent training or decision making opportunities whenever I can. I will encourage home study of at least one uninterrupted hour. I will read and become familiar with the contents of the student handbook and the code of conduct.
I understand that if I move from the district and want my child to continue attending Redwater Middle School, I must contact the Superintendent of Schools within ten (10) days after moving from the district. I further understand that if I do not contact the Superintendent within ten (10) days after moving from the district, my child will not be allowed to continue attending Redwater Middle School.
