Teacher+Parent+Conferences


 * Teacher/Parent Conferences**

__General Guidelines to Follow at the Conference:__
 * Always begin and end the conference with something positive about the student.
 * If you are conferencing with a parent/guardian that does not understand English, please use your ESL instructional team aide to assist with translation.
 * Provide the parent with a copy of the Academic/Behavioral plan developed at the conference.
 * Avoid being confrontational with the parent and/or student. If you feel you may have a hostile parent coming to the conference, please request an administrator to attend the conference. In addition, you may terminate the conference at anytime if the parent becomes disorderly.
 * If you have a conference scheduled with a parent and that parent does not show up, please document this information.
 * Please keep in mind that we are interested in gaining the support of the parent. Having patience, flexibility, and good communication skills are all key elements in achieving the trust and support of the parent.
