What should I bring to a parent-teacher meeting?

Bring the report if it was sent in advance, a short written list of questions, and a pen and notebook. Bring something that shows your child's work at home, such as a reading record. If fast English is still hard, email the school beforehand and ask whether an interpreter can be arranged; some schools provide one.

Ask before the meeting whether your child comes in with you, because schools differ, and ask when the written report will be sent if you do not get it on the day. If you want to photograph or record the report, ask the teacher first; a short request at the start avoids an awkward conversation later.
