Overview of Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent teacher conferences are school-based meetings centered around a child's progress. The meetings are usually brief but allow for a conversation between the parent and teacher. It is an opportunity to discuss academic performance, social development, emotional well-being, and other aspects of the child's education. The conferences may also include a discussion on the child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan if applicable.
