Parent-Teacher Conferences provide an opportunity for us to work together in support of your child’s education. We invite you to attend Semester 2 Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 27, from 4:00-7:30 p.m. Parents and guardians will be able to sign up for 10-minute conference time slots with your student’s teachers in Skyward following these steps:

1. Login to Skyward Family Access.

2. Click on the tab “Conferences” on the left hand side of the page.

3. There will be 2 links by your child’s name….”View Scheduled Times” and “All conferences”

• “Viewed Scheduled Times” – This will list any scheduled conference date(s) and time(s).

• “All Conferences” – Sign up for conference

4. Click on “All Conferences” and find the class that states your child’s teacher.

5. Click on “Select a Time” and choose your date and time to meet with the teacher. Once you click “select”, your conference is scheduled.
