• The Pinole Middle School Compact

    It is our belief that student achievement will improve and/or accelerate as a result of our cooperative efforts to support this compact. A three-way partnership with one goal in mind, academic success, is the push behind this compact. It is vital that each person assume his or her responsibilities.
