Family Conferences
The school year at Tobin Montessori is divided into trimesters and formal Family Conferences will occur at the end of the first and second trimesters. Children’s House, Lower Elementary, and Upper Elementary conference and reporting periods vary, due to curricular and developmental needs of students.
Conferences are generally about 20 minutes long and may vary in some ways from classroom to classroom. Some teachers do conferences jointly with the parents and child present. Others do conferences with parents only. However, all conferences at Tobin Montessori will include examples of your child’s work and assessment information. Conferences at Tobin are a time for the teacher to share, but also listen. This is an important time for teachers to hear from parents about their child’s experience in school, as it directly impacts their learning in the classroom.
Please check the school calendar to view the date ranges of the conference periods for each level. Your child’s classroom teacher will reach out to you schedule your family conference.

A formal parent-teacher conference will be scheduled during a two-week period for the first two trimesters. To discuss your child's progress at any time, please feel free to make an appointment with the teacher by calling the main office at 617.349.6600 or email them.
