What is a Parent/Teacher
Conference?
The Parent/Teacher Conference is
an opportunity for a students
parents or guardians to meet with a
teacher so that the greatest possible
cooperation can be developed
between the home and the school.
Cooperation and communication
will result in a better educational
environment for the student.
Together, the parents or guardians
and teacher can support each other
in helping the student to complete
the work required.
Parents should feel free to contact
the school for a special conference
whenever they are concerned about
any of the following areas:
the social, emotional or academic
growth of the student
