Students, Parents, and Guardians:
The fall parent-teacher conferences for Spring Creek, Southeast Polk Junior High, and Southeast Polk High School are scheduled for Monday, October 10 from 4:00-8:00 pm and on Wednesday, October 12 from 12:30-7:30 pm. All three secondary buildings are coordinating this event utilizing a website (schoolbookings.net) – the same scheduling program utilized by the junior high and high school last year. This screencast video captures the process ALL parents/guardians need to follow to create an account and schedule conferences with teachers. Once the new account is created, parents/guardians can access this link to schedule their conferences. The event code for fall parent-teacher conferences is: 7saw7.
Parents/guardians will have the option to schedule either an in-person or virtual conference with teachers. Conferences will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. It may not be possible to meet with all teachers, especially if a parent/guardian has multiple children. We are setting up the conference sessions for every 10 minutes, but we are limiting each conference to eight minutes. This will allow our staff to have a few minutes to transition to the next parent-teacher conference (in-person or virtual).
After a parent/guardian books conference sessions, a confirmation email will be sent which will include a detailed list of the parent/guardian’s schedule for conferences. In-person meeting locations and all virtual meeting links will be included within this confirmation email. In order to stay on schedule, we request that all parents/guardians who have scheduled virtual meetings to join their meeting one minute prior to the scheduled start time. When the teacher is ready for the conference, they will grant access to the parent/guardian who is waiting in the virtual ‘waiting room’. If in-person conferences were requested, then the parent/guardian should arrive at the meeting location a few minutes prior to the scheduled start time as well. Please wait outside of this location until the teacher invites you into the room as this will preserve the previous families’ scheduled conference.
Our teachers look forward to conducting conferences with parents/guardians in a few weeks. As always, please reach out to your children’s teachers at any time with questions or concerns about their progress in class. Counselors and administrators are also available to assist you.
Take care,
