Tip of the Week

Parent-teacher conferences can be long. Rewarding? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely. But let’s be honest: By the end of the night, you’re exhausted. You’ve had dozens of conversations, answered countless questions, and reassured more parents than you can count. You go home, collapse on the couch, and try to shake off the feeling that you still have a million things to do.

And then, the next morning, a note appears on your desk.

Not from a colleague.
Not from a parent.
Not even from one of your own students.
