Tips for a Successful Elementary Conference
Family Involvement
The first and most important step is your involvement. Attendance is essential to build a relationship with your child’s teacher.
Be On Time
Your time with the teacher is limited because you are not the only parent the teacher is meeting with – make the most of it.
Bring Questions
You may want to know how your child is performing, or if there’s a particular subject where improvement is needed. Before the meeting, prioritize your questions.
Behavior at Home
Bring up anything happening at home that could affect your child’s behavior, learning, or participation in class.
Communication Going Forward
Ask what is the preferred method of communication such as phone calls, emails or meetings.
