Title I
School–Home Compact 2025–2026
What is a School-Parent Compact?
A school-parent compact is an agreement the families, students, and teachers develop together. It explains how families and teachers will work together to make sure all students reach grade level standards.
WHE is a Title I School
WHE is a Title I school and receives federal funding. This funding provides a reading specialist, interventionist, and a highly trained paraprofessional who provide extra academic support in reading and math. It also provides technology, books, and other hands-on resources. The funds are used to provide professional learning experiences for teachers, and they are used to host free, family events. These fun and engaging events empower our families.
