Parent/ Teacher Conferences

Parent/ Teacher conferences are coming up soon.  Conferences will be held on Thursday, February 4^th from 5:00 - 9:00pm and on Monday, February 8^th from 3:30pm – 7:30pm.  Each conference will be scheduled in 20 minute time blocks.  Conferences allow parents the chance to learn about your student’s classroom performance from the teachers, it allows the opportunity for you to ask questions and they provide an opportunity to build a dialogue with the teachers regarding thoughts and concerns you might have.

Parents, if you are interested in arranging to meet with one of your son or daughter’s teachers during conferences, the online system is now up and running for you to register for a meeting time.  Conferences will be scheduled as people sign up for them, so if you want to make sure you have times that work well for you, I strongly encourage you to register right away.

Please follow the steps below to register for a parent/ teacher conference:

-  Go to http://ptcfast.com/schools/Worthington_Kilbourne_High_School.  This will take you to the conference scheduler.

-  Click on the teacher you would like to meet with for a conference.

-  Sign up by entering your child's last name, first name, your name and your e-mail address and then click Submit.

-  The next screen will direct you to check your e-mail inbox for a message with the subject "Select Date/ Team for Teacher Conference Now."

-  Open the e-mail and click on the link to select a conference time.  If you do not receive an e-mail, please check your junk/ spam folder.  Please note, you MUST follow the link in the e-mail in order to complete the sign-up process.

-  The link will take you to a Time Picker.  Available time slots will appear on this page.  If there are no available appointments that suit your schedule, please e-mail the teacher directly to set up an alternate meeting time.

-  After submitting your time slot, you will be prompted to finish, schedule another appointment for the same student or register another student.  Once you have completed your reservations, you will receive an e-mail confirming the date and time of your conferences and a link by which you can make changes to your date or time if you need to do so.

If you have any problems using the online conference registration system, please contact Julie Hammond at WKHS.  She can be reached by e-mail at jhammond@wscloud.org or by phone at 450-6498.

Also, another reminder that tomorrow evening, Monday, January 25th is Curriculum Night at WKHS.  Students and parents are invited to come and meet with the teachers to learn about all of the different course offerings available for next year to help guide your course request process.

Additionally, since speaking of Monday, February 8th conferences in this post I also want to make sure that you have that evening at 7pm saved on your calendar for the Academic Options Night which will be held at Thomas Worthington High School this year.  This is the mandatory meeting all students and parents must attend if you want to earn college credit next year and additional information about credit flexibility will also be shared.
