Family/Teacher Conferences
Teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, October 6 from 3-7:00 pm. If you would like to schedule a conference with one or more of your child’s teachers, please follow the directions below.
WASD utilizes an online program called My Conference Time for parents/guardians to schedule their conference(s). We have found this is the most time-effective means for families to schedule conferences that best fit their schedules. My Conference Time is accessible through any internet-connected device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc…). Families can begin scheduling conferences at this time. To schedule your child’s conference, please follow these steps:
- Go to www.myconferencetime.com/washs
- Click on the name of your child’s teacher
- Select the desired time for your conference by clicking on “Sign Up.”
- Complete the requested information, including your email address.
- Click “Sign Up for Your Conference” near the bottom of the screen. You will then receive an email confirming the date/time of your conference(s).
Conferences will be held virtually. A URL for a Google Meet will be added to your appointment. You’ll receive an email that contains that link two (2) days before the conference.
