PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

Two scheduled Parent -Teacher Conferences will be held.  The first one is at the end of the first quarter and the second one is during the third quarter.  Parent -Teacher Conferences are one of the most important ways you can learn about your child.  You are welcome to schedule a conference any time during the school year.  Please contact the teacher to schedule a conference.  Here are some ideas to help you for Parent -Teacher Conferences:

1.  Plan for the conference.  Before you go, write out questions you would like to ask.  Some suggestions may be: 

 2.  Keep an open mind.  Your goal is to work for cooperation between you and your child's teacher.

 3.  Ask to see your child's work.

4.  Ask for suggestions.  If your child is doing well, ask what you can do to keep them on a positive track.  If there are problems, ask what you can do to help.

5. Clarify and summarize as you go.  Teachers sometimes use educational buzz         words.  If you don't understand something the teacher says, ask them to explain.

 Please make every effort to attend your conference and if you absolutely cannot, contact your child's teacher to set up another time.

 When parents are divorced, both parents may have equal rights where their children are concerned.  If a court order exists that limits the rights of one parent, a copy of the court order must be provided to the school(s) for the child’s file.  If the court order is not on file at the school(s), we must provide equal rights to both parents.  Please provide the school with specific rights or needs for divorced or separated parents, if you need separate conferences, or duplicate report cards.
