WalkeUon I Elementary P-T Conferences The parent-teacher conferences held twice a year at the Walkerton Elementary School have proven to be of considerable value to both patents and teacheers, and the w« ek of April 610 has been marked on the calendar for the second conferences for the 1969-70 school year. Parents ate to be auvised by the teacher, through the stuents, in order to arrange a conference time which is suitable to all. Any parents who are not contacted through his child is being asked to call the office (586-3186) so that the advantages of such a conference will not be lost. Parents are being given some suggestions which should make a conference easier to conduct and of greater value to all: 1. Decide in advance what you want to ask the teacher! Make notations 2. Be ready and willing to tell the teachers all they want to know. Their questions will not be prying, but are intended to give them background from which they dan «make better judgment on all situations. 3. “Look and listen" before leaping. If a rumor has been heard, ask the teacher about it, not a neighbor. 4. Don't expect the impossible. This especially concerns requests that some particular child be given special attention. Ask how a child's special needs can be cared for at home. 5. Take notes during the conference and review them at home. In this way a teacher's suggestions can be more meaningful.
