We had a lot of positive feedback about the new online PT Conference scheduling, therefore, we will be using the same system for the upcoming conferences in March. You will be able to go in to your account effective Wednesday, February 17th to make changes to the preferences and/or to block off times for breaks in your schedule. The scheduling will be open to parents effective Friday, February 19th with an announcement in the Community Memo.
- As a reminder, you will go to: www.myconferencetime.com/oakfarmschool.
- To log in go to the Staff Login tab and type in your username and password that is specific to you.
You may then view your schedule and make adjustments as needed.
Teachers with Oak Farm students: please be sure to schedule your own PT Conference for your own child(ren) as soon as possible to ensure your space. Also remember to block off those times in your own classroom if applicable.
If you need a tutorial or have any questions, please contact Sarah S-C!
