You can begin making appointments on Thursday, September 24 beginning at 6:00am. PickAtime will be available to schedule conferences through 11:59pm on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.
Important Note: Due to COVID, we would like to minimize exposure for all in the building. Therefore, we ask only those involved in conferences to attend. All are asked to wear masks.
Please read these instructions carefully because when you click on the following PickAtime link “Schedule Parent/Teacher Conferences,” you will be asked for the following information:
Accessing PickAtime
We have a strong preference for meeting in person, but realize there are some families for whom a meeting via Zoom would be preferable or needed. If you need to meet via Zoom, sign up for a slot on PickAtime as you normally would AND email your child(ren)’s teachers to request a Zoom link. Teachers will send a specific link for each Zoom conference.
Changes
If you want to make changes to your schedule, you can log in at any time (between Sept. 24-Oct. 6) with your email and password. There are links to modify the time, or cancel the appointment. If you have any questions or problems, please contact the office at 402-421-6299.
