Student Success From Mrs. Rousselo
Parent Teacher Conferences - Do I really need to attend?
An important part of any parent-teacher meeting is background information about your child. The teacher can give you an insight into what they think your child is doing well and areas that need improvement. This helps with understanding how to best support learning at home and guide them in the right direction. It also helps parents understand how best to support their child in different areas of the school.
Parent-teacher meetings are an opportunity for parents and teachers to openly discuss what’s happening at school and at home. Ideally, an open and honest dialogue between parent and teacher can affect change for the better in your child’s life.
The importance of parent teacher meetings is something we have to keep in mind as educators and parents. We want all students to thrive, but it takes the active participation of both parties for that to happen!
All grade levels will be sending out invites to sign up for your child’s conferences! Please plan to attend--It is important!
