The School and Home Compact is a shared agreement between the school, families, and students. It outlines our responsibilities to support each child’s success in school.

What is the school’s role?
What is the family’s role?
What is the student’s role?

Please review this compact with your child(ren) and use it as a guide to build a strong and supportive relationship with Stamford School.
