It sounds as if the parents are needing some reassurance of your classroom policies. I would prepare a list of your rules and expectations, and the consequence system you use. Tell the parents you would be happy to provide them a copy of this. If they insist on a "behavior contract", tell them that you only use behavior contracts when the student has continual problems meeting the expectations or following the rules. If this student is not causing problems (I assume she isn't), then there really is no need for a specific behavior contract. If the parents continue to insist, just have them and the student sign the copy of your rules. Don't let the parents force you into doing something that only creates more work for you, especially if it's not needed.
