Conference Management

Office staff can manage parents scheduled for Parent / Teacher Conferences. Conferences can be added or changed from within Skyward.

Note: If adding a conference for parents you must know the teacher, course, and period of the scheduled class.

Before conferences are scheduled time slots must be mass created. For you reference this is under the Staff tab | Staff Setup | Utilities | Mass Create Teacher Conference Time Slots. Note: If this is run incorrectly, each incorrect time must be manually removed for each teacher.
