Conferences
Peet Parents and Guardians,
Parent-teacher conferences continue to be a valuable experience to support students in their education. As a result, we will continue to offer this experience and it will look very similar to last year. Parents/guardians will sign up for conferences using Canyon Creek which is the same system the elementary schools use for conference scheduling. While we expect that most will take advantage of the convenience and efficiency that online conferencing provides, we will also allow parents/guardians to attend in-person, if desired. If you are planning to attend in person, please communicate with your student’s teachers so they can plan accordingly. Otherwise, the default assumption will be that you will connect virtually. Teachers will be located in a classroom or office area to conduct all conferences. Each appointment will be seven minutes in length. Please schedule your conferences before the cut-off of midnight of October 24.
Here is a link to a tutorial video using Google Meet.
- How to join a teacher for conferences
Do not need a google email account if you join the Google Meet on a computer. If using your phone, you must have a google email account
Turning on/off the microphone and camera
- How to exit the meeting
Here is the link to the spreadsheet with the Google Meet links teachers will be using for conferences. You will use each teacher's personalized link for your conference with that teacher. Feel free to copy the links you need to your own document, so you can save time scrolling on the day of your scheduled conferences. You can also find the location of teachers during conferences on this document.
