Parent-Teacher Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate their successes, and talk about ways we can continue to support their learning and growth. We encourage every family to take advantage of this time to partner with your child’s teacher.

If you haven’t already selected a conference time, please make sure to sign up as soon as possible. If you are having difficulty finding a time that works for your family, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher. We want to make sure every family has an opportunity to connect!

💬 Go Beyond “How’s My Child Doing?”

You may be wondering what questions to ask during your conference. Rather than simply asking, “How is my child doing?”, consider asking questions that give you a clearer picture of your child’s learning and how you can support them at home.

Here are some questions to get the conversation started:

At Wickman, we are committed to ensuring all students meet or exceed the essential standards for their grade level. Our teachers use these standards to identify the most important knowledge and skills students need to learn and demonstrate throughout the year.

Knowing the essential standards can make your conference even more meaningful. We encourage families to ask teachers about the standards their child has mastered, the standards they are currently working toward, and what the next steps will be.

Most importantly, remember that conferences are a conversation and a partnership. Your child’s teacher brings valuable insight into your child’s learning at school, while you know your child in ways no one else does. When we put those perspectives together, we can better support every Wildcat!
