How many times a year do you have to hold Parent Teacher Conferences (PTC’s)? In our district we have to hold them two times a year. This is something totally new for us. I am so used to having them once a year. But you know what, it’s all good.
I have to admit that this year I have a really great group of students and don’t mind meeting with their parents at least 99.9% of the time (HA). I offer conferences in a variety of ways: 1. In Person, 2. Hard Copy, 3. Phone, and 4. Email.
Our Parent Teacher Conferences at the beginning of the year are typically face to face type meetings. I am assuming that this go around, since we’ve already met, that I’ll have a few less face to face meetings and a bit more over the phone, hard copy, or email conferences. And let’s be honest, that is totally fine with me!
When I am holding those face to face conferences however, something that helps to keep knocks on the door down or other disruptions is when I hang up signs outside of the classroom letting parents know that there is a conference in progress but that I will be with them momentarily.
I simply hang these Parent Teacher Conference Signs on my classroom door and make sure I have two or three chairs set up in the hallway so parents are comfortable while the wait.
These FREE PTC Signs are FREE and you can grab them below!
