To help their students learn new knowledge and skills, teachers must know as much as they can about each child's likes and dislikes. No one knows more about these things than you, the parents. And no one has more influence over your children than you. That's why teachers need your help to do a first-class job. Working together, you and the teacher can help your child have a successful school year.

Parent-teacher conferences by their very nature can be perilous. On one hand, you have a committed, caring teacher who wants only the best for the student and is simply seeking ways to work with the parents to assure the child's success. On the other hand, you have committed, caring parents who want the best for their child and ... wait a minute!?! Why is it that conferences cause so much anxiety for all parties?
