Host: Where can I go to find more information?

Lee Dorman: If you need extra information about parent conferences or even parent resources, there are some really good places to go on the web, but if you don't have Internet access, the first place to go is the guidance counselor in the school.

Guidance counselors have lots of resources, they have lots of information, they also have places you can go for support groups, if your child is having difficulty or needs some help with different issues in school, the web offers a variety of places. There is actually a parent resource park of the National Education Association's website, it's www.

nea.

org, and if you go there, there is actually a whole section of the website that's devoted just to parent resources.
