What are Family-Teacher Conversations?
Family-Teacher Conversations are an opportunity for families, students, and teachers to meet and discuss learning and celebrate growth. Family-Teacher Conversations happen twice a year.
Why we use them?
We know that parents’ involvement in their child’s education has a positive impact on their growth and success at school. This is particularly powerful when students can celebrate their learning and growth with their families. At Preston High, we value a three-way partnership built on trust, and want to support families to understand the next steps for growth by engaging in a reflective, productive, genuine and honest conversation.
How you can support your child
Family-Teacher conversations support families to to speak directly to their child’s teachers about their child’s learning and growth. The role of Family-Teacher conversations is to answer the questions parents have. Common examples of these include:
- What is my child working towards?
- What have they demonstrated in their classes?
- What actions are the students taking to grow and progress?
- What actions can families take to support learner growth at school and at home?
As always, if you would like to check-in with any of your child’s mentor or teachers about their progress throughout the year, please use the Compass portal to contact them.
