Parent Teacher Conferences
I will be holding parent teacher conferences the week of November 14th.  I have half-hour time slots open every day that week: 2 each morning and 5-8 each afternoon.  To make things easier I have created an online sign-up form where you can see what slots are available, and put your name down for your time.

To create this sign-up list I used a website called MySignUpGenius.  When you log in you will see the MySignUpGenius logo and header, with my available times below.  When you sign up you do not need to enter in any contact information other than your name.  Try to use this format for entering your name: Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Jane).

I allowed for a wide choice of sign up times to better conform to your schedules--the drawback it that there is a lot of times for you to sift through on the site.  If this system doesn't wok for you, email me.  Additionally, the sign up list goes to 5:30 PM, if you or your spouse require a conference time that is particularly late in the evening, email me, and I will accommodate your needs.
