FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Susan Burton

Paris, TN – Henry County School System will have Parent-Teacher Conference on March 3, 2025, and there will be no school on that day for students. Parents/Guardians will be able to discuss their student’s academic progress and growth with their teachers at their school from 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. at D & N Harrelson, Henry, and Lakewood Elementary Schools and 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at E. W. Grove and Henry County High School.
Face to face time with your child’s teacher is a great way to get information about your student’s strengths in the classroom. To make the most of your time, talk about what concerns you and your child may have and look over your student's schoolwork so that you can make a list of questions you would like to ask your child’s teachers. For example,
1. What subjects are my students doing well in and what subjects does he/she need help?
2. Does my child hand in work on time and use class time wisely?
3. Does my child participate in class?
4. Does my child seem happy at school?
5. Are there tips for how I can help my child at home?
Parent-Teacher Conference is a great time to ask for ways to help your student at home and to get information about school events. Parent-Teacher Conference is also a good time to update the school to a new address, phone number, or email address.
After the conference, talk to your child about the meeting and share positives as well as any other information shared to help your student be successful. Also, continue to keep in touch with your teacher during the school year.
Principals from each school echo the sentiment that teachers can’t wait to meet with students’ parents and guardians next week.
