Dear CHS Middle School Parents,
Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, November 1st from 12:15-8:00 p.m in a hybrid format. Half of the day is formatted for in-person conferences and the other half is allocated for virtual conferences. The times below are the format for both types of conferences, and are consistent at all four district middle schools. When you sign up in Skyward for your conferences, the virtual or in-person formats will be listed. At the middle school level, once spots are taken in each format (in-person or virtual), there will not be additional times available to sign up through skyward. All individual Parent/Teacher Conferences need to be scheduled online, in advance, through your parent Family Access account. You may sign up for time slots beginning on Monday, October 23 @ 7:00 a.m. All conferences, regardless of core or encore teacher, must be scheduled online.
- Virtual Conferences: 12:15 - 3:45 PM
- In-Person Conferences: 4:00 - 8:00 PM
Important Details for Scheduled Conferences
- Online sign up in Family Access will only work using your parent login. If you still need a username and password, please email FamilyAccess@wlcsd.org or contact the Family Access hotline at 248.956.2190. You will most likely get a quicker response via email.
- Online sign up will be available Monday, October 23 @ 7:00 a.m. and stay open until Tuesday, October 31st @ 7:00 AM
- Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place virtually via TEAMS and each individual conference will be five minutes in length. Teachers will monitor the TEAMS waiting room and will remove parents and admit parents at the scheduled time.
- Prior to conferences, parents will be provided with a master list of teachers and the teacher’s corresponding TEAMS Link.
- When scheduling consecutive conferences, you must leave one five-minute conference gap between appointments. Ensuring you have a five-minute gap will allow you time to move from one teacher’s conference to the next.
- With students having six different teachers throughout each school day, if their academic grade is satisfactory to both you and the teacher and you feel your student is being successful, please consider prioritizing the several teachers that you must see during conferences. Following this process will allow enough time slots to be available for all families.
- Scheduling a conference with your counselor is not required, however, if there is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed at conferences you may schedule a conference with your child’s counselor. Due to the number of students they serve, if you do not have a pressing issue then you do not need to schedule a conference.
- If you feel you need a longer conference with any teacher, we are happy to schedule a separate conference. All staff contact information can be found at our school website.
- In person conferences will take place in teacher classrooms.
