Welcome to Chalkboard to Kitchen Table with Trish and Eileen!

In this episode, we reframe parent-teacher conferences as more than just a quick check-in about grades. These meetings are a powerful opportunity to build a real connection with your child’s teacher and become partners working toward the same goal: your child’s success and well-being.

We’ll share how to approach conferences with the mindset of collaboration, what kinds of questions open the door to meaningful conversations, and why listening is just as important as sharing. You’ll also hear practical tips for following up at home so the partnership continues long after the meeting ends.

By the end, you’ll see conferences not as an obligation on the school calendar, but as a chance to strengthen the team around your child because when parents and teachers work together, kids thrive.

See you at the table!
