General Information

Student/Parent/Teacher Interviews will be held ONLINE ONLY on Thursday, November 3rd.  There will be two sessions: 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.  Each appointment slot is only 7 minutes long.

Students are encouraged to attend the video conference with their caretakers.  Note: this requires that they be in the same location as you; joining the meeting from two different devices is not possible.

As appointments are short, please have a list of questions for the teacher prepared in advance.  If you would like to email the teacher your concerns in advance so they have time to prepare information to respond, you can find all teacher emails on the Staff Directory page.

Self-service appointment booking does not open until 15 days prior to the event (see details below).

Advanced Appointment Invitations

Prior to the availability of Online Scheduling (see below), teachers with specific/urgent concerns about students may schedule appointments directly with those families.  Teachers will book these appointments in the system so some slots will not be available during the online booking period.  If a teacher contacts you about an appointment, please reply ASAP so that your appointment slot can be reserved before booking opens to all families.  These appointments will occur in Microsoft Teams as the other system does not allow teachers to generate a meeting code for caregivers.

If a teacher does not contact you about your child, this may mean we have already been in contact with you about your child and have nothing new to add report OR we have no concerns about your child in our subject OR that our concerns about other students are more urgent.  Full-time teachers only have a maximum of 25 interview slots available for their hundreds of students and we appreciate families understanding our need to prioritize access.

Families should make an appointment during the regular online booking period for any course/subject they are concerned about.

Instructions

Using the Online Scheduling System:

1. Click here: Schedule Your Student/Parent-Teacher Interviews.
2. Follow the further instructions here: https://help.parentinterviews.com/docs/parents/

NOTE:  In cases where teachers need to speak with the caretakers of specific students about specific concerns best discussed in person, teachers may contact you to schedule your visit before the system opens for caretaker bookings.  e.g. “I’d like to meet with you during interviews to discuss your student’s progress.  Can we meet at 2:30?”  In this case, the teacher’s schedule may display only that they are “not available” at 2:30 and it will not print on your appointment schedule, but you should keep the appointment at meet the teacher at 2:30 as pre-arranged.
