Orono Middle School Home-School Partnership Compact

In order to help all students achieve high standards, we ask parents to provide:

• Assistance with homework when needed and a quiet place to work  

• Nutritious meals and snacks and lots of exercise opportunities for kids 

• Communicate in a timely fashion with school staff when questions or concerns arise.

• Consistent expectations for appropriate behavior 

The school staff in return will provide:

• A close working relationship with the student’s family centered around communication

• A positive approach in the classroom that focuses on student’s strengths 

• A safe learning environment 

• All materials necessary to participate in learning tasks 

• High expectations for all learners 

We ask that students be invested in their own learning. Things that students can do include:

• Focus on the learning activities provided  

• Find time to read every day 

• Talk with their parents about what is going on in school 

• Treat others with respect to allow for a safe and caring school for all 

• Come to school every day 

• Communicate with school staff if they have concerns or questions
