Content: NCLB stresses effective communication with parents and lists specific information that must be communicated. Schools are required to inform parents of their rights to be involved. Schools must notify parents about all school programs and report on their students' progress. Schools are required to describe and explain to parents the curriculum, the tests used to measure student progress, and the expected student proficiency levels. Communication required under NCLB goes much further than simply notifying parents by written announcements or reports. Parents with limited English proficiency must be accommodated, to the extent possible, with communication in a language that they understand. Schools may be required to provide transportation, child care, or home visits if necessary to reach out to parents and get them involved. A school-parent pact demonstrates a commitment by schools and parents to improve students' academic performance. NCLB emphasizes that schools and parents share responsibilities for improving academic achievement. Accordingly, each participating school is directed jointly to develop with parents a school-parent pact to articulate how they will help children to meet the state academic standards.
