I think it depends on the school and the family. But usually you can have informal conversations.

I always suggest starting polite but informal. Americans will not be afraid to tell you to be more casual if they think you're too uptight! :')

Personally I speak informally with friends and family. But, if I speak to someone older than me or someone that is in a higher position then I speak more formally. I feel that it makes you sound more polite and well educated.
