Parent-Teacher Conferences Oct. 7

Posted on: October 4, 2021
Conferences

High School Parent Teacher Conferences will be Thursday, October 7th, from 3:30 to 8:30 pm. Conferences will be virtual using Microsoft Teams video meetings. Virtual conferences were very popular with parents and students last year and allowed most parents to talk with their child’s teacher, at the same time keeping their schedule flexible. We will be having face to face conferences later in November. Below are the steps you will take to schedule a conference with your child’s teacher on Thursday.

To schedule your conference, please go to this website below to pick a time for your child’s conference. The website is called volunteer local. Please follow the directions at the top of the website and remember to enter your email. https://southwestlocalschooldistrict.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=57874

 

  • On the date of the conference, October 7th, parents will need to have their child log onto Teams, using their child’s school computer, at the designated conference time.
  • Open Teams on your child’s computer. On the left side bar go to the Teams calendar and look for your child’s name and assigned time slot and press join. Teachers will log in and meet you at this time as well.  Please understand that there may be a 1-2 minute lag in connection as the teachers are finishing up their previous conference.  On this note, please be courteous of other parents’ time – please be on time for your scheduled conference and try to keep your conferences within the allotted 15 minutes.  
  • We understand that some of you may have a child that has practice or an activity after school, and may not be around to help you log in at this time.  To accommodate that, we will be holding conferences until 8:30 in the evening.  Please do your best to schedule your conference when your child is at home. If this is not conducive, and your child is unable to be with you when you are available to conference, please have them show you how to log on to Teams prior to October 7th.
  • If you have additional questions for your child’s teacher, feel free to email them or check your child’s grades via Progress Book.
