Community Based and Non Profits

Our professional organization, in full recognition of the importance of K-12 education to our community’s quality of life, our region’s economic health, and to the individual success of each student, enthusiastically adopts this Community Compact in demonstration of our support of public education within the Washoe County School District. As a professional organization we will commit to those areas of support checked below:

-Instill in our staff and employees, both as parents and as non-parents, the responsibility for the academic success of the children of our community
Provide employee parents opportunities to communicate and interact with their children’s teachers and administrators to ensure that their children are on the “pathway to graduation”
-Emphasize to employee parents the importance of WCSD’s “Infinite Campus” to monitor their children’s school assignments and activities on a regular basis and remind employee parents of the various methods of accessing Infinite Campus on-line
Participate in Partners-in-Education by adopting a school and establishing with the Principal a program of involvement that will enhance the academic experience
Require of any student applicant for part-time employment a “Certificate of Good Standing” from the student’s school attesting to the student’s satisfactory academic, attendance, and conduct status
-Notify staff and employees of program opportunities within the school district for mentoring and or tutoring students, for assisting with reading, literacy, and mathematics programs, and for participating in other student or school programs (Math Counts, Academic Olympics, Campus Kids, etc.)
-Notify employees of opportunities to serve on school or district committees that benefit education (Parent Involvement Council/Committees, Information Technology Advisory Group, Bond Oversight/Technical Committees, etc)
-Contribute surplus materials, supplies, credits, or donations to the “Education Warehouse” program which provides teachers and schools with needed supplies for classroom work Monitor the extent of staff and employee participation in the above activities and provide the Community Compact Administrator with data (employees involved, hours expended, materials donated, etc.) annually
