Parent Directions for
Green Lake MS/HS VIRTUAL Parent-Teacher Conferences
Hello! Parent-Teacher Conferences are next week Tuesday and Thursday. And even though we can't invite you into our classrooms and we can't shake your hand and smile at you, we can meet with you virtually. This year for conferences, you have two options. You have the ability to log on to a computer and meet with us through Zoom or Google Meet, and you know what? Have your child with you and have them walk you through that process if you're feeling a little uncomfortable. It's really rather easy. If I can do it, you can do it! The other option you have is by telephone.
We're trying to set this up very simply. This Google document is really important and you will need to use it to sign up for conferences ahead of time and then to attend conferences the day of.
How to SIGN UP for Conferences:
-
Go to page 2 of this document in the link below. Find the teacher’s name that you’d like to sign up to speak with and click on their name. The word “bookmark” will appear below in blue. Click on it.
-
At this point, you should be at the teacher’s 2 day conference schedule. Look at it to find a time that is open. (Note: only teachers can fill out the schedule. It is here so you know the teacher’s availability.)
-
Go to the top of the teacher’s page, click on their email address and request a time. Make sure you include your name, your child's name and the time. I suggest that you request a couple of times in case slots start getting filled up. (You may also call the teacher if you do not want to email him/her.)
-
The teacher will email you back, confirming your time.
-
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other teachers you would like to speak with.
How to ATTEND Conferences:
-
Go to page 2 of this document. Find the teacher’s name of whose conference you are going to and click on it to get their bookmark.
-
At this point, you should be at the teacher’s 2 day conference schedule. Click on the meeting link at the top of the teacher’s schedule page, or call that teacher's number.
-
The teacher will let you into the meeting or answer their phone and you're there! Do your conference.
I hope you have great, meaningful conferences. Again, if you need anything, contact me. My email and phone are below. If you’ve got questions, let me know. I hope you are being safe, doing well, and being healthy.
Take care. Be strong,
Cathy Moore
