What Questions Should I Ask?
|
Parent/Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching. This is a time when parents receive a lot of information about how their child(ren) are doing at school But have you ever wondered what questions you could ask your child's/children's teachers to learn more about your child's school day, progress, and how to best support them at home? The questions below are from the online article, 50 Questions to Ask at Parent Teacher Conferences.
This article contains several good questions to ask at conferences, regardless of the age of your child(ren). Please take a few minutes to check out the article for additional ideas. - What do you suggest we do if we are at home and my student gets "stuck" on homework?
- How can I help my child be more organized with homework without completely taking over?
- Is my child giving his or her effort?
- What are some essential skills for college that your see are still a "growth area" for my student?
- Do you notice any difficulties my child is having socially at school?
You are a critical part of the team to help your child be successful in school. Please plan to attend conferences:
Tuesday, November 12, 4:00-8:00 PM for grades K-6 and Thursday, November 14, 4:00-8:00 PM for grades K-12. Allison Schmidt, Superintendent
