MEADOWLARK CONFERENCES - OCT. 14
Tips for making Parent-Teacher conferences successful:
- Always prepare. Have some specific questions ready concerning your child's strengths, needs, study habits, and social skills.
- Be positive. Showing the teacher you appreciate his/her efforts helps build a strong relationship. Share with the teacher activities your child has enjoyed in the school.
- Check back. Work with your child on areas that need help. After a few weeks, check back with the teacher on your child's progress.
- Set goals. Establish goals that can be achieved through co-operation between school and home.
