– PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE Grades Pre Nursery III "Every child is a unique puzzle, and as educators and parents, we collaborate to piece it together beautifully." Parent-teacher meetings are essential in the educational landscape, forming a strong partnership between parents and teachers to enrich a child's education. Serving as cornerstones of effective and holistic education, these meetings encourage teamwork and a shared dedication to a child's growth and development. The school conducted Parent-Teacher Conferences on 20th August and 7th October 2023. These sessions offered a collaborative platform for parents and teachers to understand and support each child's educational journey. Parents participated in discussions about teaching methodologies, academic progress, and their children's overall well-being. The open exchange of information enabled parents to ask questions and gain deeper insights into their child's development. This approach fosters an environment conducive to academic, social, and emotional excellence in children. These conferences are highly valued as they provide opportunities for parents and teachers to jointly nurture student success.
