Parent Teacher Conference Info and Sign Up Link

March 2, 2022

For our upcoming Parent Teacher conferences on March 8th (12:30 – 2:30 and 5-8pm) and March 9th (12:30 – 2:30pm) we are once again using an online appointment booking system to set up a time to meet your child’s teacher virtually on a Google Meet. To book an appointment, please  see below for simplified instructions:

1) Go to our school appointments web site: https://cdg.schoolappointments.com/
2) Register for an account by clicking the "CLICK HERE TO REGISTER" menu tab (on the right side of the screen) and filling in the on-line form.  Choose a user id and password for yourself and then click the "Register Now" button.
3) Add your children into the system by clicking the "Add a Student" button.  Click "Insert New" button to add more children.
4) If you registered for an account in October, you can use your user ID and Password that you used in October.  If you do not remember your password, you can use the “Forgotten Password Recovery” feature
5) Click the "date" icon beside each child's name to schedule appointments.  Select the staff you wish to book appointments with and the "View Calendars" button.  Use the "Ctrl" or "Command" key to select multiple staff to view at the same time.
6) Click on available time slots to book your appointments to make your bookings.

If you want to check your appointment info at a later date, or just log back into the system, click on “View appointments” and you will then see your appointment info.  If you need to change your appointment, please let the teacher know.  Reminders will be sent to your e mail account later next week on Monday, and will contain that link that you will need to join your teacher on a Google Meet for the appointment.  If you do not receive the reminder e mail, please check your junk mail.  On the day of your appointment, use the link to meet with the teachers.  Please do not join your meeting before your time, as the teacher will not be able to "admit" you to the meet until your time. This is to allow the previous family their full meeting time. There is time built into the schedule to allow for one family to sign off, and the next to join. 

Please ensure that when you book an appointment, you include your child's name.

Thank you for your understanding as we seek to partner with you, while also following COVID protocols and keeping everyone safe. We look forward using technology to have these valuable conversations this year.  If you have any issues with the booking software, or all available times are full, please reach out to your child’s teacher to arrange for an alternate date, time or method to connect.  Our staff e mail addresses are available at https://chiefdan.abbyschools.ca/about/staff

As always, thank you for partnering with us!
