What is a School Parent Compact?

A School Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all our students reach grade-level standards.

This compact is linked to our School Improvement Plan. Which is focused on learning skills and describes how teachers will help students develop skills using high quality instruction, share strategies that parents can use at home and explain how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress.

Parents, students and staff of Benjamin E. Mays High School developed this School Parent Compact for Achievement. Meetings are held each year to review the compact and make changes based on student needs. Parents are welcome to contribute comments at any time. If you would like to volunteer participate, or observe in the classroom, please contact Dr. W. J. Swain, II at 404-802-5148 or wswain@Atlanta.k12.ga.us. Or visit our school’s website.

At School:

Mays will provide a high quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables scholars to meet the high student academic achievement standards by:


Consistently promoting and providing high training sessions and outreach programs to ensure parents and community members play an integral and sustained role in assisting student learning. Introduce new math skills and concepts using authentic application problems so that students see relevance for learning.  Assignments will be given that allow students to be able to connect math lessons to the real world


Hold parent-teacher conferences during the school year that

will discuss scholar’s achievement. Specifically, those

conferences will be held: upon request of the teacher (s),

parent(s), administration, or counselors. Provide parents

with frequent reports on their children’s progress. Specifically,

the school will provide parents with Progress Reports and

through the use of the Parent Portal.


Student Responsibilities:

All students of Mays High School are responsible for conducting themselves in a manner that is appropriate to good citizenship. Student conduct shall be founded on the basic concept of respect, consideration for the rights of others, school policies, and applicable codes and laws.

Scholars would continue to attend school tutorial programs in Math, ELA, Science and Social Studies. We would utilize available resources sent home by the teacher to find answers to problems that are difficult and to practice math and science skills in preparation for End of Course Tests.
