Parent/Teacher Conferences
Spring Conferences will be on Thursday, February 27th from 3:30-7:30pm
These 10 minute conferences are assumed to be in person, however virtual or phone conferences are available upon request. If conference times have been filled for the evening or the conference date or times do not work for your schedule, please contact your child’s teacher to determine an alternate conference date/time. Key teachers and Interventionists have individual conference sign ups on Skyward as well.
Conference Scheduling Directions:
Login to Skyward Family Access
Click on the “Conferences” tab on the left hand side of the page
There will be 2 links to the right of your child’s name…
“View Scheduled Times” - this will list any scheduled conference dates/times you have set
“All Conferences” - this will allow you to sign up for conferences
Click on “All Conferences” and find the class that states your child’s house. Only one designated house teacher name will appear, but all house teachers will be attending the conference.
To schedule a conference time, click on the “Select a Time'' link, beneath the Status heading. A pop-up window will display available conference times. Select a time that you would like to meet with your child’s teachers.
Parent help for conferences
Thanks to all the families that have signed up to bring an item for the teacher's dinner. There are a few slots still available. The PTO is providing dinner for teachers on the night of conferences, however, we are asking families if they are willing to help supplement the dinner with snacks, dessert and beverages. If you are able to help, please sign up on the Sign up Genius. Thanks in advance!
