Parent–Teacher Conferences: A Tip Sheet for Parents.....
As a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. You and your child’s school havesomething in common: You both want your child to learn and do well. When parents and teachers talk to each other, each person can share important information about your child’s talents and needs. Each person can also learn something new about how to help your child. Parent–teacher conferences are a great way to start talking to your child’s teachers. This tip sheet suggests ways that you can make the
most of parent-teacher conferences so that everyone wins, especially your child.
Schedule a time to meet. If you can’t go at the scheduled time, ask the teacher about other times.
* Review your child’s work, grades,and progress reports.
* Talk with your child about his or her progress in school.
* Talk with others—family members, after school staff,mentors, etc.—about your
child’s strengths and needs.
* Make a list of questions to ask during the conference.
* Think about ways you would like to be involved in your child’slearning so that you
can discuss them with the teacher.
Conference slips have been be sent home please make time for your child and schedule time that works for both you and your child's teacher.
