Parent Teacher Conference Appointment Slots Parent Teacher Conferences During Remote Learning Information During the COVID-19 pandemic, home is school for most of our students, and families are playing the role of administrators, educators, facilitators, and coaches for student learning. The upcoming Parent Teacher Conference (PTC) is an important opportunity for teachers to hear from you about how your student is doing and how remote learning supports are working for them. These past weeks have been an unprecedented time in all of our lives. During this uncertain time, it is critical that we hear from you about how your child is doing and how the school’s supports are working. The PTC is also an opportunity for educators to provide you with feedback about your child’s academic progress, and what you can do to support your child. If your child is having trouble, you and your child’s teacher can figure out an action plan. The guidance linked below is designed to help you understand what to expect from PTC during remote learning, including preparing for the PTC, conversation guide, and grading policy. https://www.schools.nyc.gov/get-involved/families/parent-teacher-conferences Our Parent Association will continue to host monthly meetings using Zoom. Please see the updated schedule below and check the Parent Association page for further information and updates.
