Yes that is pretty standard, our district also allows us to
email parents if they have access. So print out a progress
report, make a copy, stick it in an envelope and mail it home,
that's the easiest way. Then for a conference get your guidance
counselor, if your building has one, to set up the
conference...that way you can say a third party tried to set it
up. But that is pretty standard. I would NOT do the parent
phone call conference, unless an administrator was there on
speaker phone.
