Introducing Online Conference Signups for LES!
This year, LES will utilize SignUpGenius for conference signups for November 9-11 parent/teacher conferences!
Access our website and click the SignupGenius button. After creating an account for yourself, click on the grade level your child is in. Look for your child’s teacher in the left column. Be sure you are signing up for the correct teacher, then select a date and then a time slot.
We are so excited about this new feature for LES and truly hope that you will take advantage of this quick and easy method for signing up for your child’s conference!
