Parent-Teacher Conference Dates & Times:
Wednesday, Oct 14th - 5:30-8pm
Thursday, Oct 15th - 12:15-3:30pm & 5:30-8pm
East China School District, grades 6-12, will be hosting parent-teacher conferences this year by teleconferencing, appointment only. We will be using the scheduling feature that can be found on Skyward Family Access as we have done in the past to schedule appointments. It is an opportunity for you to schedule your child’s conference(s) ahead of time with each teacher you feel you need to meet, but instead of meeting in the classroom, the teacher will call you at the set time. Included in this letter is a video link of how to schedule parent-teacher conferences.
The window for scheduling will open Wednesday, October 7th at 3:00pm.
Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling with Skyward Family Access
Here’s how to make an online appointment:
1. Log on to Skyward Family Access. (If you have forgotten your Skyward password, you can request to have your information emailed to you by clicking the “Forgot Password” link below the login.)
2. Click the Conferences link on the left hand side. Click All Conferences to see all teachers for which you may schedule conferences.
3. To view the available times, choose Select a Time next to each teacher with which you wish to schedule a conference.
4. From the available times listed choose the date/time you want by clicking Select.
5. Confirm your time choice by reviewing the information and clicking Save.
6. Once you choose times, the space marked Status will begin to fill in with your choices. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to add more times.
7. When you have finished making your appointments, click Print All Scheduled Conferences to keep a copy for your records.
If you make a mistake or your plans change, you can remove a time from the schedule. At any time prior to the reservation deadline, you can log back in, click Teacher Conferences and click Unschedule in the View Scheduled Times window. It will ask you to confirm, so click Save if you are sure you want to unschedule that time. (If you’re not seeing “Unschedule”, click the View Scheduled Times link next to the student’s name.) This will return the time slot back to the queue and allow you to select another time for that teacher.
Conference schedule for this year (grades 6-12):
Wednesday, October 14th Conferences: 5:30 pm until 8:00 pm
Thursday, October 15th Conferences: 12:15 pm until 3:00 pm and 5:30 pm until 8:00pm
