Parent / teacher interviews usually occur only at the end of the school term.

It's best not to talk to your child about what happened at the meeting with your child's teacher.

You can make an appointment to see your child's teacher anytime.

Before you go to the meeting, be sure to write down any questions you have.

Be careful not to ask too many questions

Don't worry too much if you go over the time allotted to your interview. Teachers are always able to give you more time.

It is best to ask the most important questions at the beginning of the interview.

Before the interview it is a good idea to practice some strategies regarding how to express yourself in case there is something you don't understand.

Do not worry about trying to help your child at home. Teacher's are professionals and can do the job alone.

Be sure to speak to your child about any plans or strategies you and your child's teacher have devised to help your child progress at school.
