When to fill out the surveys
Try to fill out the surveys a few days before your parent-teacher conference. Send an email asking if the teacher would be willing to try the survey with you.
If you don’t get the surveys done ahead of time, you can fill it out during the conference. Just make sure the teacher agrees ahead of time. Asking in advance can help you make the most of your time together.
