Back-to-School Parent Conferencing Tool

Parents and Teachers worked harder than ever last year, and we saw that we're stronger when we work together. Teachers are the experts in classroom learning, and parents are the experts on their children. Share what you've noticed about your child with the teacher so that he or she can best connect with your child in class.

Interested in partnering with your child's teacher to support learning? Download our new tool to help you have this conversation. Together you can get the teacher to better know your child, pinpoint academic progress, and partner up on a plan to ensure their success this school year.
