Parent Teacher Conferences
Parents and Guardians,
Given last year’s highly favorable response to holding parent-teacher conferences via Zoom, we have decided to continue that practice this year. At Beadle, all conferences will be held via Zoom.
- Conference dates and times:
- Thursday, October 7 – 4:00-8:00
- Monday, October 11 – 4:00-8:00
- Wednesday, October 13 -- 12:30-3:30
- Conferences are by appointment only and will be held via Zoom. We will use the Conference module in ParentVUE to schedule conferences. There will be 8-minute slots set up for each teacher. If you feel you will need a longer discussion, please reach out to the teacher at a different time. You may choose to sign up with as many teachers as you need to have a conference. Administrators, counselors, and special education staff will join the conferences as needed.
- The deadline to sign up for conferences is Monday, October 4.
- After conference sign-up has closed, a document containing Zoom meeting links for all teachers will be emailed to parents who have signed up. On the day of conferences, teachers will enable the Zoom waiting room and will let parents in at their scheduled time.
The guide linked below provides instructions for Conference sign up in ParentVUE. You MUST access ParentVUE through a web browser, NOT the app, to use the Conference Scheduling module. You may sign up for conferences beginning Monday, September 27 through Monday, October 4.
