Parents

What is a Parent-Teacher conference?
Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled to be an exchange of ideas about your child's activities, habits, experiences, and achievements.
While parents receive interim reports (grades 1–5) and are encouraged to discuss specific concerns at any time, the parent-teacher conference presents an opportunity for parents and teachers to meet in person at regular intervals to discuss the child's progress.
Parents are requested to make a special effort to meet during these regularly scheduled times. Nevertheless, special circumstances may require scheduling a conference before school hours or late in the afternoon.
What should parents expect from a Parent-Teacher conference?
an opportunity to get to know me, your child's teacher in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
an opportunity to hear about your child's progress in academic, social, and emotional development and to learn about strengths and special abilities
a chance to establish mutual goals with me to give additional support in areas needing improvement
a chance to share important information with the me which will be helpful in understanding your child's needs
an opportunity to ask specific questions about the curriculum

Getting ready for the conference: you can help!
You will should have received a confirmation to attend a conferences.
If you have a specific concern you would like to address at your conference, please let the me know in advance so I can prepare.
To help me understand your child better, you may wish to discuss such things as:
important experiences that may be affecting your child (death in the family, divorce, a best friend moving away, relationships with family members, etc.)
any special health needs/problems
after school activities, special interests and hobbies
feelings about school
study habits
T.V. habits
anything at all that could be affecting your child
Remember– it is not necessary to reveal personal information, but anything you say will be kept confidential.
Specific areas you may wish to discuss with your child's teacher relating to school performance include:
classroom activities
methods of evaluation
social relationship to peers
discipline
homework
work and study habits
daily schedules
competency in basic skills
attitudes
strengths and areas needing improvement
The conference – what to expect
At the conference we could discuss your child's school progress, such as:
ability to do class work
specific information on performance in academic areas and how your child is doing in relation to class standards
samples of class work
the books and materials your child is using
information on your child's special interests and abilities
The teacher could also discuss your child's social progress, such as:
relationships with others
behavior in and out of class
I may share observations which could be helpful to your child (hearing, seeing, etc.) or may have suggestions or ideas you can use at home to help your child in school. I may also suggest other resources such as reading material on a topic of interest.
Helpful hints
Please be on time. Try to follow the schedule which has been set up. If you feel you need more time, ask about setting up another conference at a future date.
Call the school if a last minute emergency prevents you from coming at the scheduled time.
Please keep in mind the parent-teacher conference is scheduled to exchange information about your child and the curriculum at the grade level. The parent-teacher conference is not the time for a general discussion of educational philosophy, nor is it the time to discuss the ability, style or program of another teacher.
