Your child’s teacher is available to answer questions about your child’s progress and what they are learning in class. Be sure to attend conferences, contact your child’s teacher via email, notes, and/or phone calls. Attend school events (i.e., Open House, Parent Math Night, etc.), as well. Review any work that comes home (corrected papers, classwork or homework) to see what your child is working on in class. Keep the lines of communication open. Email or call the teacher when you have questions.
Questions you can ask the teacher:
- What should my child’s reading level be at this point in the year?
-
In addition to the learning goals in this guide, what else is my child expected to learn?
-
How is my child’s progress measured throughout the year?
-
Is my child on grade level? If not, what support will the school offer my child? How can I help at home?
-
If my child is at or above grade level, what extra enrichment and support will the school offer? How can I help at home?
