Teachers sent home prescheduled appointments last Thursday. Please make every effort to attend your appointment. This is the time parents and teachers develop academic, social and behaviorial goals to assure that your child has a successful year.

Please be prompt in picking up your child at dismissal time. Teachers must immediately begin conferences and are not available to assist students who are waiting for late parents. Children may not remain on the school grounds unsupervised while waiting for a parent to arrive for a conference or during the conference. Students may be included in the conferences, if specifically arranged by a teacher with parent(s). We do not provide child care.

How to Make the Most of the Parent-Teacher Goal Setting Conference…

Here are some questions to help you prepare for the Parent-Teacher Goal Setting Conferences coming October 7th-15th.

• How is my child’s class structured? What is a typical day like?

• Does my child seem happy at school?

• What do you see as my child’s special interests and strengths? What can I do at home to help my child develop his/her talents?

• Are there subject areas where my child needs extra help or seems less motivated? How can I assist in those areas?

• Does my child seem challenged by the academic work or does he/she seem to complete it with little effort?

• How does my child react to trying new things? What about his/her reaction to making mistakes?

• How does my child interact with other children and adults?  Does he/she seem well accepted among his/her peers? Are there any behavior problems?

• What level of parental involvement is encouraged regarding my child’s homework assignments?

• How are my child’s creative thinking and problem-solving skills? What do you recommend for development in these areas?

• What appropriate after school opportunities are available for development in these areas?
