Learning Compact
The Title I Learning Compact found below was developed by Ossipee Central School parents and staff as mandated by federal requirements associated with Title I. Title I provides Ossipee Central School with federal funds that are used to support your child’s education. Research shows that in successful schools, students, families, and staff communicate and work together to help ensure the success of each student.
Please review this Learning Compact with your child(ren) and return the signed copy to your child’s classroom teacher. Thank you for helping to create a balance between student motivation, parent involvement, and solid academic instruction.
We value your opinion! Please contact Andrea Fournier, Ossipee Central School Principal at 603.539.4589 or Linda Perrow, Title I Project Manager at 603.569.0221 with any input you have regarding this Compact.
