Teacher requested meeting re progress

I've been asked to meet with the teacher regarding progress of my yr 2 ...this the first time school have ever asked me to go in......bit worried can anyone prep me with what questions I should ask etc...

All was fine at last parents evening in Feb? Bit worried now but I guess I need to wait for meeting to find out more.....any advice most welcome....do they only do this if things have slipped massively ?? confused

Could be they are a little behind on something and want to do an intervention or they maybe doing well in something and want to give them extension work

This will be related to an area of concern - potential SN or behaviour, possibly. I think all you can do is hear them out.

Listen to what they have to say then ask 'what can we do at home to help this?'.

If it is something more than they need to do a bit more work at home to catch up then ask what the school can do and what they'd recommend you do!

When is the meeting?

Have you had any indication he/she may be struggling? How do they do with homework?

This is a GOOD THING because it means that the teacher is paying attention to your DC.

Go in with an open mind and listen to what s/he has to say, don't be afraid to ask for clarification or further details and keep in mind that everyone will want what's best for your DC.

Thank you so much....I'll post back once over had the meeting ....open mind will be a good approach 😔
