Parent-Teacher Conferences A parent–teacher conference is a time when important people in a student's life can talk about how that student is doing in school. It's a chance for you to ask questions about the class and your child's progress, and allows you to work together as a team to discuss ways you both can help your son or daughter at school and at home. For older students, parents can inquire about future coursework that would be suitable for their child given their present and past performance in that subject area. Your child's teacher is an invaluable resource. Parent-Teacher conferences occur at all school buildings and grade levels. This year they are scheduled for the weeks of October 23 and March TBD _______________________ Below are support documents that can help our H S parent community prepare to make the most out of these meetings: For K-8 students: “Make Parent Teacher Conferences Work For You & Your Child” at http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Make_Parent_Work_You/ ______ Especially helpful for the K-6 conference format: "Parent‑Teacher Conference Checklist" This is a National PTA website list of issues and questions parents may want to consider prior to the conference appointment.
