Welcome to our online method to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences. This webpage will be updated throughout the school year as we approach the various Parent-Teacher Conference dates. Since 2014-15, we've been using a system called Conference Manager from SchoolSoft.
Conference Manager is a different system than PowerSchool, our student information system that keeps track of grades, attendance, contact information, etc. You do not need to access PowerSchool in order to register online for Parent-Teacher Conferences. However, if you don't know who your child's teachers are, logging into PowerSchool will provide that information.

PREPARATION FOR PARENTS
Before logging into Conference Manager to reserve your Parent-Teacher Conference time slot(s), please prepare by doing the following:
- Know your child(ren)'s teacher's name(s) that you want to conference with. If you do not know the teachers' names, either ask your child or login to PowerSchool Parent Access.
- Familiarize yourself with Conference Manager by reading this entire web page and, if necessary, the detailed instructions.
- The system will email you reminders and schedules, so do not ignore emails from @schoolsoft.com. If those emails end up in your spam folder, mark them as Not Spam or add appointments@schoolsoft.com to your email address book.
- If you do not have a computer or internet access, we suggest you:
- Use a computer at the local library, friend's house, relative's house, etc.;
- Ask your employer's permission to use a company computer;
- Call the school office to schedule your conference.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS
-- REGISTER (Only need to do this once. Once registered, you simply Login to the account you created)
- Register using your email address and a password you create. See FYI below if you don't have an email account.
- Add all your child(ren)'s names to your account and select their school next to each of their names.
-- LOGIN
- Select a School you want to schedule a conference at.
- Select a Date you want to schedule a conference for.
- Select a Teacher(s) the teacher or teachers you want to conference with at that school on that date.
- Assign your child(ren) to available time slot(s) with the teacher(s).
- If you want to schedule another date at that school, click the Back button to go back to Step 2.
- If you want to schedule more conferences at other schools, click the 'Book a Conference' tab to return to Step 1.
- Click Log Out when you are done.
- Look for emails from @schoolsoft.com. If those emails end up in your spam folder, mark them as Not Spam or add appointments@schoolsoft.com to your email address book.
FYI...
- You only create one account, even if you have children at multiple schools. In other words, your account is district-wide.
Separated/Divorced parents can create separate accounts if they attend conferences separately, at different times.
- Your district-wide conference schedule appears in the panel on the right of the window.
- If you forget your password, please contact your school office for assistance.
- If you do not have an email account, which is a required field on the registration screen, you can enter a fake email such as your firstname@lastname.com (e.g. john@public.com). Since you'd be entering a fake email account, you will not receive confirmation of your conference schedule.
