Parent-Teacher Conference
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be conducted Friday, November 5, 2010. Conference slots will be available during a day session from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and an evening session from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.Conferences are limited in length for all grades. Middle School conferences are held with the homeroom teacher only. Middle School students (grades 6, 7 and 8) are encouraged to attend with their parents.
The "specials" teachers (music, gym, art and technology) will also be available for conferences that day.
Again this year, conference times will be scheduled online. MCA will utilize the service "PickAtime" to facilitate the scheduling of parent-teacher conferences. "PickAtime" is an online appointment service that publishes available time slots on the web and allows parents to book their conferences over the internet greatly simplifying the process. There are many advantages to this system from the schools perspective. There are also a number of benefits for parents too, including:
- Allows parent to select from all currently available times.
- Available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
- Allows for parents to log back in and make changes.
- Provides parents a printable schedule.
- Allows parents to receive an e-mail reminder prior to the conference.
****IMPORTANT for New Families*****
In order to schedule a conference each family must first go to the PICKATIME WEBSITE and create an account.
You may create your account at anytime starting Monday, October 18. The scheduling of conferences will begin Monday, October 25 at 7 p.m. Please note that if you create your account prior to October 25 (highly recommended), the website will state, "There are no events currently available."
