  Case: Parent - Teacher Conferences.
Hi!

Growing up, students only had one mandatory parent teacher conference a year and all other times parents were called in were for behavior issues. In my classroom I want strong school-family connections and want to have conferences. Most of my parents only want to hear if their child is misbehaving so scheduling multiple conferences a year is tricky. How do I get parents more involved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe that it is every important that the parents are involved in their child school. Maybe the parent don’t understand how important it is so you can explain to the them the importance of parent teacher conferences. Also you should see if their schedules is not working with yours that could be a reason why they don’t care to communicate unless their child is misbehaving. You can also send weekly emails to the parents.
