Parent -Teacher Conferences

We are just finishing our first night of parent teacher conferences.  Students were excited (some nervous) for their parents to meet their teachers and talk about their progress.  It is so nice to see so many parents come in and be a part of their child's education.  Even though we communicate now with computers, phones, and texts; it is still nice to be able to talk with parents face to face.  It's important for parents to be open and honest with their child's teachers and really work together to make their child's school experience a good one.  A wise parent once told me;  " I always make sure to ask about three things when I go to my children's conferences:  How are their grades? Do they have friends?  and  How is their behavior?" Sounds like a good plan.
