Our Goals for Student Achievement
How is the Home-School
Compact Developed?
The parents, students, and staff worked
together and shared ideas to develop the
home-school compact. Meetings are held
each year to review and revise the
compact based on the school’s academic
achievement goals and student’s needs.
For all students that reside in residential
facilities served by the Muscogee County
School District, parental involvement correspondence and activities will be mailed
to each facility where students reside.
