Let's make the most out of the PTC by engaging in the following strategies together:

Plan ahead. Determine what you need to know and how we can support you.
Check your email for your invite.
Make a list of questions. Review them and prioritize them.
Identify goals. Find out what the teacher expects from your child and why.
Listen to the teacher. Focus on responses and be ready to support.
Seek at-home strategies. Request tips on how to improve learning at home.
Follow-up with the teachers after conferences.

Let's work together to meet the needs of your child.
