Thank you

Thank you for attending parent teacher conferences last week. Research shows that the more a family is involved in their child’s education, the better the child's academic performance and attitude about school.

You and your student’s teacher both want your child to learn and do well. When parents and teachers talk, both parties get to share information about your child’s talents and needs. We all need praise and constructive criticism to grow, this leads to a better understanding of each child and helps map the best path for their education.

Although conference time provides an opportunity for every parent to meet with their child’s teacher, I encourage you to email the teacher and set up additional meetings throughout the year. 

If you sense any changes in your child or feel “in the dark” about what is happening in the classroom, please contact the teacher right away. Things do come up over the year and changes are natural, but our goal at St. Paul’s is to keep you informed and provide a support system for your child if you ever need one.
