Approaching ParentTeacher Conferences - General Hints (from TeacherVision.fen.com)Parent-teacher conferences are an excellent opportunity to find out how your child is adjusting to the new schoolyear and to get to know her teachers. Here are some general hints on how to have a successful conference:
Ask your child if there is anything that he would like you to discuss with the teacher. Jot down everything that you want to talk about at the conference. (See Helpful Questions, below.) Arrive promptly or a few minutes early. Begin with positive comments about the teacher or classroom. Avoid lengthy discussions of topics that are not related to the purpose of the conference. Be open to suggestions from the teacher. Keep your emotions under control. Take notes about what has been discussed and share them with your child.
Express appreciation for the conference. Do not stay beyond your allotted time.
Finally, enjoy the opportunity to talk with your childs teacher. Both of you have the same goals supporting yourchilds growth academically, socially, and emotionally. We know that there is nothing more important to you thanyour childs well-being. His or her successes at Garden Gate are successes for all of us!

blue lunch envelopes are being turned in to the school.Frequently, the blue lunch envelopes are coming inunsealed. Some of these have cash, including coins andare handled by several people before ending up in theoffice. We've had money missing as a result of this sinceit often falls out of the envelope. Please make sure youseal the envelopes before giving them to your children.This will help ensure that your student gets credit for thetotal amount of money you turned in. Thank you
