Parent-Teacher Conferences

5 /6th grade combination: Kat Holmes

th

Students write goals every trimester. In the first meeting, the

goals are gone over to see if they are appropriate for the child in
parents perspective.
The teacher shares the classroom policies and procedures. They
are also shown how to check grades and log into remind- a tool
the teacher uses to communicate with the parents on a daily
basis.
In the second trimester they reflect on their old goals from the
first trimester to see if they were met or not, and review new
trimester goals for the next up coming trimester.
Conferences should always be kept student focused. In the upper
grades students should be at the meetings. They need to know
what is being discussed about them and how they can improve if
need be.
Always have evidence to support any classroom concerns so the
parents can see your concern and fully understand it.
