Parent/Teacher Conference Tips

  • Make notes before meeting - questions & concerns
  • Say something positive about your child’s school experience
  • Ask questions to clarify information the teacher provides-during or after the conference
  • Take notes while teacher is talking-after the conference, reflect upon your notes to assist and reinforce your child at home
  • Share information about the conference with your child-check your child’s perspective regarding key issues (match your conversation with the age & maturity of the child)
  • Keep communicating - keep in touch with the teacher throughout the year rather than just during conferences
