Parent Evaluation

Please assist me in more effectively working with your child by providing your brief comments to each of the areas listed below. The parent's perspective of a studnet often provides invaluable insight that can be very useful in more efficiently meeting the needs of the student. Since you are the one who knows your child better than anyone, careful thought should be given to each of your responses. Sharing specific examples and anecdotes are most helpful. This form will be kept in strict confidence.
