parents evening

School progress discussion

Parents evening is a scheduled event at a school where parents meet with teachers to discuss their child's progress.

Typically held once or twice per term, it involves brief one-on-one appointments: We have parents evening next Thursday.

The term is primarily British; Americans usually say parent-teacher conferences.
