[quote=Anonymous]It took me a bit to adjust after Preschool where we got daily updates from DS's Teachers. K was weird because we did not get regular updates, I wasn't expecting daily but I guess I figured weekly or monthly but nope. It turns out, not hearing from your Child's Teacher is a good thing, it means that they are doing fine and are not causing any issues in class.

We heard from DS's Teacher when she was worried about his speech, that led to his being evaluated and receiving speech therapy. We also heard from her when he was going to the bathroom for 20 minutes at a time. She was worried about a medical issue, working together we figured out he was avoiding a specific academic task he didn't like. She handled that as well, he could go to the bathroom of course but he needed to complete the assignment before he could play in the Centers. His bathroom breaks stopped taking forever.

We had friends who heard from their kids Teacher on a regular basis, there were conferences and daily progress reports. It wasn't a good thing for anyone but the ones who worked with the Teachers were able to decrease the communication because their kids behavior improved or the child was evaluated and received services.

You might hear about progress reports, you will only get one if your child is struggling with behavior or in one of their subject areas.

If your child is in ES, you can request a parent teacher conference. We do so after the first report card as a check in. If it seems that DS is struggling with something or worried about something, we make one after the second report card. If not, we make a conference after the third report card to check in.

You can offer to volunteer and see if there are opportunities in your child's class. Although that is more common in ES then other grades. [/quote]
