Things to Ask at Your
Parent-Teacher Conference
Once your child starts school, he/she will spend nearly as many waking hours with their teachers and peers as they will at home. Parent-teacher conferences are an opportunity to team up with teachers to help make your child's school year successful and memorable.
Here are a few things to think about before your conversation with your child's teacher.
- What should my child learn this year? Ask the teacher what skills and knowledge your child will be expected to master by the end of the school year.
- What are my child's strengths and weaknesses?
- How is my child's class behavior?
- What type of learner is my child?
- How much time should he/she spend on homework?
- How do you evaluate your students? Is work graded on completion or accuracy? Do you grade class participation?
- Is my child working up to his/her ability?
- How is my child doing socially?
- How can I help?
- May I tell you about what's going on at home? How your child feels can impact his/her performance. Have there been recent changes? Situations like illness, divorce or a new baby may affect your child's school experience, so inform your child's teacher of such circumstances.
Regardless of what was discussed during the conference, try to end on a positive note. You may not always agree with your child's teacher, but working together to solve issues should unite you both with a common interest. Remember, you both have the same goal: to make this a successful school year for your child!

Help Wanted:
Leopard Store Shopkeepers (Grades K-2)
Be a part of the positivity! Leopard Bucks and the Leopard Bucks Store are key to our school's PBIS program. Leopard Bucks are given as recognition when students make the choice to uphold Lakeshore's core values: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible.
A visit to the "store" is an exciting opportunity for students to exchange their hard-earned Leopard bucks for a tangible token of their positive choices.
As shopkeeper, you will open the store for one grade, and you can choose which grade you sign up for. A "shift" is 1 hr 15 mins. You can commit to one time or multiple shifts.
Most importantly, as Shopkeeper you will support PBIS at Lakeshore and share in the good feeling generated by students who are proud of their positive choices. Thank you for helping out!
Sign up here:
Kindergarten: Click here
1st Grade: (TBD. See next week's PPP)
2nd Grade: Click here
Grades 3-5: Teachers run the Leopard store. Please contact your child's teacher to see if they'd like your help!
