Wanted to bump up this tread on parent-teacher conferences. We are eating some great ideas on how to support teachers during conference time on this new Facebook thread. Here's the link:https://www.facebook.com/PTOToday/photos/a.10150206954915224.445162.325957880223/10154718729550224/?type=1

During conference week we do lunches/dinners everyday. We do crockpots of soups & rolls, taco bar, baked potato bar, meat/cheese & rolls, salads or even order pizza one day.
They really do appreciate it since they are there until late and often can't leave.
Our Lower School Parent Group puts together a seated service for our teachers. We have a full meal - main course, salad, fruit, veggies, drink - followed by coffee or cappuccino and dessert, all served by 5th grade student servers, just like in a restaurant! Our 5th graders LOVE to serve the teachers and the teachers LOVE to be served by students - many who have been at our school for 6 or 7 years! It's a beautiful meal and our teachers look forward to it every year!
We do not usually do anything for teachers during the Parent Teachers conferences. During Teacher Appreciation we do the whole week. We provide breakfast the first day, lunch the second day, dinner thw third, dessert bar the fourth and an awards ceremony on the fifth day. That is a big week for us and it takes advance planning to be ready for that. We have the breakfast and lunch catered and we provide for the breakfast.
