DYERSBURG HIGH SCHOOL

2022-23 School-Parent Compact

What is a School-Parent Compact?

It is a written commitment describing how members of the school community-families, teachers, principal, and students-agree to share responsibility for student learning.  The compact helps bridge the learning connection between school and home.
