MAGH ENE COLLEGE PARENT-TEACHER MEETINGS

TIPS FOR PARENTS

3. When you meet the teachers tell them:

• your name & your child’s name
• his/her class / year group

4. Avoid discussion of topics that are not related to the purpose of the meeting.

5. Be open-minded to suggestions from the teacher.

6. Ask how you can support your child’s progress at school.

7. Take notes on what has been discussed to bring back as feedback to your child.
