It’s that time of year again when parents have a chance to sit down with their child’s teacher to check in on how the school year has been going thus far. This is crazy to believe, since it seems like just yesterday was the transition from summer to school year and the sun was beaming down on us, and flip flops were appropriate footwear!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0parent teacher conference<\/a>\u00a0is a wonderful opportunity for a parent to voice any concerns they may have, to check in on their child’s social-emotional well-being in the school environment, and to clear up any confusion about homework policies.<\/p>\n

Here are a few tips to help your parent teacher conferences be productive and worthwhile.<\/p>\n

1. Preparation is key.<\/strong>
\nParent teacher conferences are often time limited, so prepare for the conference by jotting down any concerns or questions you have ahead of time. This will save you time during the conference and will avoid that annoying “oh I forgot to ask about that” thought occurring on your drive home. In addition to your child’s academics, consider asking questions regarding your child’s socialization and self-advocacy skills.<\/p>\n
