Parent-teacher interviews are scheduled meetings where parents or guardians meet with teachers to discuss student academic progress, behaviour, and development. Schools typically schedule interview days once or twice per academic year. While education is provincial jurisdiction, parent-teacher interview days significantly affect municipal communities as parents take time from work and schools may release students early. Understanding school schedules helps municipalities plan recreation programming and childcare services. Strong parent-teacher communication supports student success, and schools may accommodate parents' work schedules with varied appointment times including evenings.
