By the time the school year ends, your child’s teacher will have insights into your son or daughter that you might not. So, before school breaks for summer, have a one-on-one conference with your child’s teacher and ask your child’s teacher the following questions.
- Is my child performing at up to his/her ability?
- In what areas do you think my child could excel?
- What skills does he need to work on over the summer?
- What’s been his greatest area of improvement this year?
- What area still needs improvement?
- How have his social skills developed over the past year?
- Was there anything you observed about my child academically or socially that concerned you or surprised you?
