Click here to see if the school has your "Zoom link Parent Teacher Conferences"
If not please get it to the office or Keith to put on the school website.

You're done (for now) and can wait for parents to sign up!


BEFORE Conference night please open your meeting and make sure:
   - Zoom is up to date (it will auto update but might take a few minutes)
   - You remember how to zoom!
   - to move the slider (maybe).  It's just above the camera!
