There may be times during the year that it is necessary to communicate with your child’s teacher. Perhaps your student is having trouble in a certain area, or maybe a family crisis is impacting their learning. Whatever the reason, it is important to communicate your information with the professional staff at your child’s school.
Parent-teacher conferences are specific times when you can address personal issues or concerns with your child’s teacher. These meetings are designed to let you and the teacher find positive ways to meet your child’s individual needs at that time. Conferences are great ways to share what works for your child and find solutions to problems that arise.

Pre-arrange conferences with the teacher you wish to see. Many teachers will be as flexible as possible with meeting times, so that a mutually convenient time is available.
- Be prepared for your child not to attend at least part of the meeting. If both you and the teacher feel it is necessary for the student to attend, they can be brought in later or at a separate time.
- Write down any questions you want to ask. Sometimes it is difficult to remember everything you think of at home.
- Remember that not all answers can be immediately available. Sometimes teachers will have to gather information before being able to answer a specific question.
- See conferences as an opportunity to work in a partnership with the teacher. Everyone wants students to do their best, and by working together that goal can be more quickly realized.
- Remember to discuss positive aspects of your student’s school experience. Knowing what is working can help to solve any problems that may arise.
