Parent teacher conferences are a wonderful reminder of the partnership that exists between home and school. At Scottsdale Prep we hold to the ideal that parents are a child’s first and primary educator. Our desire is to unwaveringly serve families who wish to educate their children in the classical tradition.
Rather than a mere perfunctory meeting for the transmission of grades, these conferences hold immeasurable power and benefits for both parents and educators alike. Education is a human endeavor and takes a human connection to harness the power of the teacher/parent/student partnership. Such personal connections are invaluable in ensuring that we work together in the best interest of our students, enabling parents to gain deeper insights into their child's educational journey, strengths, challenges, and overall progress. During Parent-Teacher Conferences, our teachers provide a comprehensive overview of your child's educational and moral development. Having students lead the discussion of their development with their parents and all teachers present, makes for a powerful moment where all stakeholders are united in an earnest effort to seek the good for each student. This holistic approach, benefits students, teachers, and families in seeking a deeper understanding where children are more likely to perceive learning as a positive, engaging experience. Your interest and involvement sends a powerful message to your child that education matters, and that you are invested in this journey. This encouragement translates into increased enthusiasm for learning, both inside and outside of the classroom.
We thank you for trusting and partnering with us as we work together to provide the best education possible for your children. Please let these conferences be just the beginning of an extended conversation with teachers and administrators about your child and his/her development.
