As the new school year rolls around, you and your child’s teacher have one big thing in common, even if you’ve never met before: the goal to make your child feel comfortable and ready to learn.

After all, with the typical teacher responsible for 20 to 30 students at a time, a little help from home is important. Those crucial “official” parent-teacher conferences, though, often don’t come around until weeks or months into the school year.
