Virtual Parent-Teacher Conferences

November 5, 2020
Dear Parents,
Today is our annual parent-teacher conferences, which will be held on Google Meets Videoconferencing Software.
We ask that you observe the following when logging on to your child’s Parent-Teacher Conference:

1. Please wait until the exact start time of your conference to allow the previous conference to conclude. You will be placed in a waiting room and let in by the teacher. Please adhere to the time limits of your conference out of respect for other families.
2. Please review your child’s grades on PowerSchool and/or the report card sent home before the conference to allow for a productive conversation.
3. There are likely to be some technological missteps. Please remain patient.
4. Always keep in mind that our teachers are here to support your child and we are partnering with you for their education. Our teachers have your child’s best interests at heart. They choose to teach in a Catholic school because they believe in our mission and want to help your child learn and grow in a faith-filled environment.

Below are the links for the Google Meets Conferences. To log on:

Simply click on the link for your child’s teacher at the assigned time.
Once your camera and microphone start, click on the “Join Now” button to be brought into the waiting room

Dear MCES Families,
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we will be hosting our annual 1st Quarter Parent-Teacher Conferences virtually on Google Meets this year. We understand that this creates a unique challenge for our teachers and our parents, and we ask for your patience and support as we navigate this new process. Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, November 5th. School will dismiss at 11:30 and conferences will begin at 1:00 pm through 5:00 pm. Teachers will have a break for dinner and conferences will resume from 6:00 pm through 8:00 pm.

In our Preschool through 5th Grade, our homeroom teacher conferences will be scheduled in 15 minute increments.

In 6th-8th Grade, subject area conferences will be scheduled for every 7 minutes to allow for a maximum number of parents to meet with teachers.

We ask that you honor these time restrictions out of respect for the teachers and other parents.

We ask that you sign up for your parent-teacher conferences on the following signup geniuses:
Preschool-1st Grade: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094babae29a5f58-mces12
2nd-5th Grade: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094babae29a5f58-mces11
6th-8th Grade: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094babae29a5f58-mces13

Please only sign up for one slot per teacher, as we want to maximize the number of people that are able to meet with each teacher. Especially in the middle school, please be aware that teachers have many students and will meet with as many parents as they can during the conference period.

Links to the Google Meets video conferencing software will be provided on the morning of November 5th. When you click on your child’s teacher’s link, you will be placed in a waiting room. Please wait until the teacher admits you to the room.

Thank you for your participation in these conferences and partnership with MCES!

God Bless,

Mr. Kubik
