Olson Outlook
Week of October 4th
Conferences are coming up!
A strong school-home connection is vital for children's success in school. Please use the information below to sign up for a conference if you haven't done so already. The Olson staff can't wait to meet with you virtually!
Parent/teacher conferences will be held for all D200 schools on: Wednesday, October 6, 2021 from 4:00-9:00 PM and on Thursday, October 7, 2021 from 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM. All conferences will be virtual using the Meet the Teacher app.
Students in the elementary dual language program will have additional conference times available as per their individual building schedule which is found in the online scheduling system.
Parents/guardians may schedule their own individual teacher conferences using a web-based appointment system called MEET THE TEACHER. Meet the Teacher allows parents the flexibility to schedule conferences for all their children at the same time.
Parents who live in the same household are asked to schedule only one conference per household. Parents who live in separate households may schedule separately if desired.
To schedule your conference there are five quick steps:
- Go to https://woodstockcommunityunitdistrict200.meettheteacher.com from any internet connected device and enter your information as required on the screen - parent name, email address, student’s name, and student’s birthdate. The system will then bring up the conference schedule for your child’s school. If you have multiple students in the district at different schools, you will see one conference schedule for each school.
- CLICK THE SCHOOL you wish to schedule.
- CLICK ON THE CLASS or classes you wish to schedule. If you have multiple children at the same school, you can choose classes to schedule for each child.
- On the next screen, CLICK on the AVAILABLE TIMES you wish to schedule with each teacher. Once all of the classes have been scheduled.
- CLICK on the GREEN BOX to VIEW and PRINT your schedule for this building. If you have children at other schools, follow the prompts to schedule them next.
You may return to this website at any time to review, print or change your conference times.
If you need assistance with scheduling your child’s conferences, please contact the school office. There are scheduling kiosks available at each school for you to use as well.
Please note that student dismissal on Wednesday, October 6th is at 11:00.
Be sure to check out the flyers below for an informative virtual presentation on October 7th done by Ms. Jurca and other social workers from the district. The presentation will focus on the 10 Things the Brain Needs to be Healthy and Ready to Learn. If you attend and fill out a short survey, you'll be entered into a raffle for prizes.
