Prairie View Important Updates!
Conferences Next Week!
Conferences will take place on November 21st and 22nd. Our annual conferences are an essential opportunity to get to know your student’s teacher(s) and receive insight regarding the first third of the school year. Conferences are an excellent opportunity to strengthen the connection that has already been established between the school and home. If you have not scheduled a time with your child's teacher, please contact them as soon as possible.
- Ask what they would like you to talk about with the teacher.
- Ask what they think the teacher will say.
- Ask about the things they like, and don't like, their problems, and their successes.
- Let them know that after the conference, you will discuss what the teacher said.
- What is being covered in this grade?
- What are your expectations for homework? Has my child missed any assignments?
- Are we completing the remote day assignments and activities correctly?
- How are my child’s work habits? Does my child use time well?
- Does my child read at the level you would expect for this grade?
- Is my child able to do the math you would expect for this grade?
- Is my child in different groups for different subjects? Why?
- Does my child get along well with others?
- Does my child cooperate in class and follow directions?
- What can I do at home to help my child be more successful at school?
- Favorite subjects
- Outside interests and hobbies
- Any medical or health needs
- Things happening at home that may affect school work- moving, divorce, new sibling, changes in schedules, etc.
- Ask to see your child’s work. There’s no better way to see how your child is progressing.
- Ask the teacher to explain anything you don’t understand. Every profession has its own jargon, which can be hard to understand.
- Sum up what you think has been said. Make sure you and the teacher agree on any decisions you have made about your child. If necessary, ask to meet again.
- Ask for the best way to contact the teacher. E-mail? Phone?
- Stay in touch with the teacher.
- Contact the teacher if you think of a question you didn’t ask.
- Talk with your child. Stress the positive things the teacher said and talk about suggestions for improvement.
- Plan with your child how to carry out these suggestions
When you conclude your conference, please take a moment to complete a brief survey for your student's teacher!
