PARENT CONFERENCES
Parents or guardians shall be kept informed concerning the progress of the student. Parent‑teacher conferences are encouraged and may be requested by parents, guardians, or teachers. If the progress of a student is unsatisfactory in a subject, the teacher shall attempt to schedule a parent‑teacher conference. In the conference, the teacher shall explain the reasons for difficulties and shall develop cooperatively with the parents a plan for remediation which may enhance the probability for the student to succeed.
The purpose of reports and conferences shall be to encourage students and parents to become active participants in planning for progress with the teacher, counselor, education specialist, and principal.
