What are 3 reasons parent conferences are important?
A parent–teacher conference is a great opportunity to:
- discuss your child's progress
- share your child's strengths and needs
- work with the teacher to help your child do well in school
TIPS FOR FAMILIES:
When families become partners with their child’s teachers, children are more successful.
Ask these questions at parent-conferences to help build that partnership. Time is limited, so pick 2-3 questions that are most important to you.
- How does my child learn? What are my child’s strengths?
- Is my child meeting current grade level expectations? (Ask about test and assessment scores)
- Are there areas where my child is struggling?
- Are these expectations for classroom participation? Is my child meeting them?
- Are there ways we can help at home with learning?
- What is the best way and time to communicate with you?
Additional topics you can discuss with the teacher:
- Skills that your child can work on during the summer
- Resources or community programs to support learning at home including: summer camp, afterschool programs or tutoring and mentoring programs
