Virtual Parent Teacher Conferences
Southern Boone Middle School
Parent Teacher Conferences Structure
This newsletter contains links for each teacher's conference schedule with available times for you to sign-up for. It is not mandatory that parents meet with each teacher. If parents want to meet with multiple teachers, they will need to sign up for a separate conference for each teacher.
For parents that have limited or no internet access at home, the Middle School will have Chromebooks set up in the cafeteria (following social distancing guidelines) for parents to use for virtual conferences. Parents interested in accessing Chromebooks at the school for conferencing need to use the main door to the Middle School where they will be shown to the cafeteria.
How to sign up for Parent Teacher Conference (Appointments)
- It is better to use a computer/Chromebook to sign up for conferences rather than a cell phone.
- Each family seeking to have a conference with their child’s teacher will click on the teacher’s name in this newsletter.
- The link will take you to that teacher’s specific appointment page. The appointment page may look like the following picture. If it does, Click on “Next available appointment slot” or use the arrows to switch the week to October 15th or 16th.
- Once you move the calendar to October 15th or 16th, you can then choose which time slot you would like to meet with the teacher. If you hover your cursor over the time slot, more details regarding the appointment will show up. An example of the time slots that you will see are below.
- Once you click on a time slot, a box will appear with a description of the appointment slot. In the “What” or title line of the box, please change the name that is in parenthesis to your student’s name.
- Then click Save.
- After clicking Save, you are now scheduled for an appointment for the specific teacher you chose. Please follow the same procedures to sign up for appointments with other teachers if you desire.
- You should automatically receive an email confirmation with the time slot information and a link to meet with the teacher through Google Meet at the date/time selected. If you use Google Calendar, an event with the Conference information and Google Meet link will be automatically created.
