Parent-Teacher Conferences
It is time for Parent-Teacher Conferences again. Conferences will be held on Tuesday, Feb 21 from 4:30-8:15 and on Wednesday, Feb 22 from 4:30-8:15 p.m.  We are implementing a new system for scheduling conferences. We think this will make the scheduling process much smoother for parents, teachers, and office staff.

The process for setting up your conference time will be to go to www.schoolbookings.net. You will be able to schedule your conferences during the week of Feb 6 – 10. Once you are there, you will be asked to enter a school event code. Our code is BMXMM. You will then be taken through a 3 step process to enter your information, child’s information and schedule your conference(s) for your child(ren). Once you have finished, you will receive an email confirmation of the date and time of your scheduled conference(s). Please be respectful of our teachers’ & fellow parents’ time and arrive to your conference on-time. We do encourage you to not schedule back-to-back conference times with multiple teachers as sometimes the teachers are on different floors at opposite ends of the building and so your “travel time” cuts in to your conference time. A teacher will only hold 1 conference per child. If there are 2 separate households, we ask that you coordinate with each other your conference time. (The exception would be if you have a restraining order on file.)
