Virtual Conferences Using Google Meet
To participate in Parent-Teacher conferences this year, parents have the opportunity to connect over Google Meet. Your child’s teacher will send you the Google Meet link to join.
To access the Google Meet, you must be signed in to a Google account. If you do not have a Google account, you may use your child’s FCPS account to sign in to Google. If you will be unable to access the link using one of these methods, the teacher will contact you at the phone number you provided during the sign-up process.
Please do not connect to your conference early as there may be another conference in progress.
To access the parent/teacher conference via Google Meet:
STEP 1: Go to the Meet link provided by the teacher. If asked:
Sign in with your Google account or the account of your FCPS student.
Enable your microphone and camera by clicking “Allow”
STEP 2: Click “Ask to join”
STEP 3: Wait on the “Asking to join…” screen for the teacher to admit you into the meeting.
STEP 4: If you get a message that your request to join was denied, the teacher may be meeting with another parent. Wait a few minutes and repeat from STEP 1.
If you are having trouble connecting at the time of your conference, you can:
Contact the front office staff at 240-236-1900
Go to meet.google.com and type in team-myes to access a staff member
