Parent Teacher Interviews are on Wednesday 19th & Thursday 20th March
This is a meeting between you and the teacher to discuss goals for your child.
We have arranged 10-minute time slots for the parent/teacher interviews. If you have more than one child, you might like to have a break between interviews. We would be grateful if all our parents/caregivers kept to the timetable to ensure smooth running.
The booking link is in Hero under School Bookings. All Caregivers were sent a notification from Hero when it opened. If you are having trouble booking please contact the Office.
What do I need to do to prepare for this?
Before the meeting:
- Book a time and put it in your diary.
On the day:
- Your child’s teacher will discuss how your child has settled into the school year and the goals that they have set.
- You might be able to provide us with more information about your child.
Your job:
- Please arrive at the scheduled time - we want to best utilise our time with you. Unfortunately we won’t be able to make up for lost time at the end of your time slot.
- Enjoy the opportunity to see your child’s learning environment and meet with their teacher/s.
- Celebrate your child's progress to date.
- You may like to think of a goal you have for your child this year and bring it along to share.
- If you require more time with the teacher, make another appointment that best suits you both.
- We would encourage you to make arrangements for the care of any pre-schoolers in your family please..
After the Parent/Teacher Interview:
- Continue to celebrate your child's successes and support their goals.
- Keep in contact with your child’s teacher.
Important things to remember:
We really value these Parent/Teacher meetings. If you are not able to make the allocated times, please contact your child’s teacher to find a time that suits you both best.
