Scheduled PTC's 

Your scheduled bookings will be listed with the Zoom Meeting link and the option to delete the conference if you need to modify your time or day.

Reminder. If you choose to delete a scheduled booking it may no longer be available from the booking schedule.

Pre-entered Bookings

If you see pre-entered bookings, this means that a teacher has requested a priority conference in advance. If this is the case, feel welcome to edit the time and day of the requested conference but please do not delete it.

In an effort to help facilitate the smooth running of our MS PTCs, take note lessons will finish at 12 noon. 


TIPS FOR PTC CONFERENCES 

Identify yourself: If on Zoom on Monday Oct 16th ensure your Zoom name identifies you as the parent of your child (E.g. “Amanda Pekin”, or “Alex’s mother”, so that the teacher knows which parent is in the waiting room and which to admit for the next conference.

Be on time: For Zoom conferences on Monday October 16th open your Zoom   1-2 minutes before the prescribed time for your conference, click on the Zoom link provided in the email that you will receive on October 13th.

End on time: Finish the meeting with your child’s teacher at the end of the 10-minute session – there will be other parents waiting immediately after you to meet with this same teacher.

We look forward to three days of successful conferences and trust you will find the meetings informative and enjoyable.
