Mark update and Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences

Ends Report cards and an emailed mark up date should be coming home by Thursday March 22, 2012.  Thursday is a short day.

We have the opportunity to try Conference Manager , an online booking system, for our upcoming parent student teacher conferences that are scheduled for Thursday March 22, 2012 from 5:30-8:00PM and Friday March 23, 2012 from 9:00 AM – Noon. 

The site opens for booking at 9:00AM on Monday March 19, 2012. Each time slot is 5 minutes.  If you would like a ten minute interview, please select two consecutive sessions.  You may add any comments to let the teacher know if you have a particular concern you would like to talk about.

We hope that this will allow our teachers to be prepared for your interviews and make the time more productive for everyone.  Please call our office at 403-777-6430 if you have any concerns.

The link for the Conference Manager is:

A Parent Account is required to use the Conference Manager. However, you only need to go through the registration process the first time you use the system. If you have never registered in the Conference Manager use the link above and click the “Register Now” button.

Can’t remember your password?
If you already have a Parent Account, click on the link above, select “Forgot your password” and enter the email address you used to register in the system. You will then receive an email containing instructions for resetting your password. If you do not receive an email, you might have entered an email address the system does not recognize. Please also add appointments@schoolsoft.ca to your address book in your computer mail.  This will over ride any spam filters that might be blocking the email. If the problem persists, please contact the office and ask them to access your Parent Account, confirm your email address and reset your password.

Step 1 - Conference Manager Opens to Parents – 9:00 AM; March 19, 2012
If you used the Conference Manager in the past, your email and password are still in the system. You can simply access the Conference Manager using the link above.

Select the teachers with whom you want to book interviews. You will see each teacher’s schedule. Select one session for a 5 minute interview or two consecutive sessions for a ten minute interview. After booking your appointments you can print off your schedule. You will also receive an email confirming your bookings.
