parent-teacher conferences
Academic progress discussions
Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled meetings between a student's parents and teachers to discuss the child's academic progress, behavior, and development.
Schools typically hold them once or twice per year, though parents may request additional meetings.
The plural form is standard even when referring to a single meeting: We have parent-teacher conferences next week.
