Parent-Teacher Conference Info
A Message from South Lyon East
October 26, 2021
Dear SLEHS Community,
It is that time of year again! Parent/Teacher Conferences are Thursday, November 4, from 2:30 PM until 8:30 PM. We will be using a hybrid format for conferences this year according to the following schedule:
2:30 PM - 5:14 PM - Virtual or Phone Calls Only
5:46 PM - 8:30 PM - In Person Meetings in each teacher’s classroom at SLEHS.
Many parents are in constant communication with our teaching staff and are able to check Skyward daily to monitor their student’s grades. As a result, you may wish to schedule appointments with all teachers, with only the teachers you have questions for, or you may feel that you do not need to meet at all. We encourage you to do what is best for your student, but please know that our staff is happy to discuss your concerns at any time.
Because we are using a different format than we have in the past, we will be using Google Sheets for parents to sign-up for their conferences.
Scheduling Notes
Parents should type their name in the time slot they want for each teacher they want to see. Parents do not need to meet with all of their student’s teachers unless that is desired.
Please remember to give yourself a break in between conferences to allow for enough time to transition between teachers.
Please use caution when signing up so you don't change or delete another parent's sign up. We are operating under the honor system and can see editing history so please use caution. Thank you!
Teachers are either scheduling Google Meets, phone conferences or allowing parents to choose.
All staff have a 30 minute dinner between 5:15 and 5:45 PM
The opportunity to schedule a conference will close Tuesday, November 2 at midnight to allow teachers to prepare for their appointments.
Conference Notes
- If your conference is a phone call, please understand the number calling you at your conference time might say “blocked call” or “unknown number”.
- If your conference is a Google Meet, please note that the teacher may have you wait in a Google “waiting room”.
- Please be sure to stick to your time (4 minutes) and understand our teachers are not being rude if they seem to be ready to end the conference. It is important that we stick to the schedule.
Mr. Braun, Mr. Sinopoli-Smith, Mr. Middaugh, Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Arao-Hansen, Mr. Sole, Mr. Abbott, Mrs. Crowell, Mr. Cadwallader and Mrs. Kalbfleish are shared staff and either travel between buildings or are VLP instructors. Please note that they share their time with EAST and another school and available conference times reflect this. You will need to carefully review their time slots as they are likely more limited.
Please note that teachers will be available to see only those parents who have scheduled a conference time. If your child has the same teacher for two different subjects and you want to see the teacher twice, you can select two time slots.
If you have any questions feel free to send an email to Mrs. Fisher at fisherk@slcs.us or call our office at 248-573-8700.
We appreciate your patience as we implement the sign up process for this year. Remember, you can always call or email your child’s teachers at your convenience.
