Preparing questions for the teacher ahead of time will help parents feel more at ease by making sure nothing is forgotten or overlooked. To help familiarize themselves with what their child is learning and areas of difficulty, parents are encouraged to look over homework throughout the year so that come conference time, they will know what to discuss. It is just as important for parents to discuss the progress report and school in general with their child and ask them how they think they are doing and what they like and dislike about each subject. Parents should review their child’s progress report and make note of any concerns or questions about the grades or the corresponding comments listed. Therefore, in order for parents to make the most of these conferences, parents are encouraged to come prepared with questions. They are fairly short in duration, lasting usually about 15 minutes.

They are held at the end of the first and second terms. The second and third conferences are academic in nature and are held after the progress reports go home. The first takes place early in the school year to provide parents with an opportunity to share any pertinent information about their child with his/her homeroom teacher. Generally, conferences are held three times per school year. Parent teacher conferences are also a good way for parents to participate in the school system and in their child’s education. They provide an opportunity for teachers to identify and highlight to parents their child’s progress, areas of strength and areas of growth. Parent teacher conferences are a great way for teachers and parents to communicate with each other.
