If you have multiple students, at the top, select your student (in the mobile app, student selection is a drop-down at the top).

Step 3

Select the tile for Parent-Teacher Conferences (Note: The tile name may vary, but it will have a green stripe on top).

Step 4

Select the teacher you would like to meet with.

Step 5

Select an open time slot from the available list.

Step 6

Repeat the teacher and time slot selection as needed to meet with multiple teachers (elementary students may only have one teacher option).

A window will appear indicating your conferences have been schedules. Repeat steps to schedule conferences for any additional students.

Need to edit your conference time or cancel?

Open the Parent-Teacher Conferences tile again and look under My Conference Schedule. Click the red trash can icon next to the appointment time you would like to delete.

You can select a new time slot from the available list and finish the process again to reschedule a new time.
