The Importance of Teacher Parent Conferences

“Often parents find that their peers have the same questions, struggles and successes with their own children. It is so good to know your experiences are not yours alone!”

Rubeena Sandhu – Head of School

In the chilly nights of autumn, the thought of leaving a nice, warm, cozy home to attend a class meeting evening can be difficult.  So, thank you for leaving the comforts of home and utilizing one of the many gifts a Waldorf Education brings – regular parent evenings.

While teacher/parent conferences focus on an individual child and his/her social and academic progress, class meetings can deal with class learning goals, social-emotional dynamics, developmental milestones and academic aims. Often parents find that their peers have the same questions, struggles and successes with their own children. It is so good to know your experiences are not yours alone!

Throughout the school years, there will be many celebrations and some challenges; regular class meetings help parents keep in touch with it all – worth braving the cold dark nights, to meet the warmth and light of your children’s learning.
