Dear Upper School Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to share information about Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences and other important events in November.
Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences via Zoom
We will host Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences via Zoom on Nov. 12 and 13. As in years past, you will use the Pick-A-Time online portal to sign up for individual conferences.
These conferences are for only graded classes – not advising and not Pass/Fail classes.
To sign up for conferences, schedule times with your student’s academic teachers who are listed. You will schedule five or six conferences (six minutes each), depending upon your student’s course load. If you choose not to meet with a particular teacher, simply do not schedule a conference with that teacher.
Thayer will provide interpretation services for those who would like to make use of them during the conferences. If your family would like translation services, please email Ms. Goodridge at egoodridge@thayer.org by Friday, Nov. 6, to ensure advance setup.
The conference sign-ups are open through Tuesday, Nov. 10, at midnight.
To sign up, log in to MySchoolApp, go to Resources, and click the “Pick-a-Time” logo.
Be sure to click “Virtual” so that available times show up. Once you’ve signed up for a session, you and the teacher will be provided a unique Zoom link for that meeting. You will receive an email from Pick-A-Time after you sign up for your conferences – within that hour. Be sure to check your email and spam to get these zoom links.
For assistance with your MySchoolApp login, reach out to help@thayer.org.
