On my phone so this will be brief and most likely garbled by auto-correct! But fwiw - we were surprised without notice at our ds' first PT conference after ge gad an IEP by this exact thing - but with no forewarning. Our school did it so they could report where ds was at in making progress toward IEP goals. I suspect that somewhere in distinct or state policy there was a box that needed to be checked off saying the staff had met and communicated progress toward goals and they used this as a way to check off that box on their to-do list.
I think what I would do in your position is to send an email to your ds' teacher thanking her for the heads-up. If you don't have any concerns at this point in time I'd ask what their role wold be at the meeting but still plan to attend. If you have things you'd like to discuss with the team I'd ask that the meeting be postponed until both you and your db are able to AT&T d and when you can schedule more than 15 minutes.
Hope it's nothing!
