PARENT-TEACHER-STUDENT LED CONFERENCES

Children do better in school when parents are involved in their academic lives. Attending parent-teacher conferences is a way to be involved and help your child succeed. Teachers and students will be preparing the student led conferences this week to deliver report cards this Friday, October 24.

A parent-teacher conference is a great opportunity to:

ü  start or continue ongoing conversations with your child's teacher

ü  learn how to help your child do their best in school

ü  let your child know that what goes on in school will be shared at home

Parent-teacher conferences are brief meetings, only lasting about 10-30 minutes. Teachers have aside specific times for these conferences for Friday, but if they conflict with your schedule, please try to find a mutually convenient time. Conferences for the first quarter are mandatory for all students.

Conferences focus on learning, although your child's behavioral and social development is also discussed. You will probably hear feedback about your child's progress and areas of need. It is important to have an open and honest communication that will allows the school and home to work together for he best interest of the child.

We hope to see you all this Friday!
