Parent Teacher Conferences

Cannot believe this week is already upon us but report cards go home Tuesday afternoon (if you have your conference before you get your child's report card at home, I have a copy available for you to look at) and this week I am undertaking the massive task of parent teacher conferences.
Some pointers to make our conference run as smooth as possible

• be prompt
• think about any questions you may have beforehand and come prepared to ask them. I will try my hardest to answer your questions satisfactorily
• I will have an outline for you (3 strengths/2 areas to grow) so if only 1 parent can attend the meeting, you will have info to take back and report
• Conferences are only 15 mins long (not long enough in my opinion) but it is unfeasible to schedule them any longer when I have 25 of them to conduct. Due to time constraints, I have to be precise and to the point with all my information and I apologize ahead of time for anything that may be overlooked or not able to discuss. If further communications need to be made, a phone or email conference can be scheduled at a later date after the holidays.
• It is recommended to leave your children with a sitter (if possible) to make our conference most productive. If they need to come with you, toys will be set up on the rug to occupy them while we talk at the table.

If you are unable to make your conference or are running late, please let me know ASAP by....

1. emailing me - eckentab@chambersburg.k12.pa.us
2. texting me - (717) 414-9939. please make sure to include your name when texting so I know who it is

I will be sending everyone reminder emails for conferences at some point this week.
Looking forward to meeting you and I will see you later this week :-)
