ONLINE Parent/Teacher Conference Registration - Key School

ONLINE Parent/Teacher Conference Registration
Conference Registration will be OPEN
12:00 noon Wednesday, October 2 – 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, October 22
You may schedule up to five meetings per child. We recommend, at a minimum, meeting with
your child’s homeroom teacher/advisor.
Conferences are 10 minutes in duration with 5 minutes built-in for you to move to your next
appointment.
Please do not reserve two conference times for the same subject.
1. Access the Parent Portal from Key’s homepage http://www.keyschool.org and log in
2. Once logged in, click the “Family Center” link in the left-hand navigation list
3. The name(s) of your child(ren) will appear in the left hand column
4. Click on the name of the child for whom you are scheduling conferences (See step 8 for
scheduling multiple children)
5. Then click “Parent/Teacher Conference” link
6. The screen below will appear.

7. Using the drop-down selection boxes from the middle of the page, make your desired choices:
a. In the first box choose the teacher you wish to see.
b. In the second box choose the appropriate date.
c. In the third box choose your desired time. You will see a list of all conference times still
available for this particular teacher on this particular day.
d. Click “Add to Schedule.” NOTE: If your desired time does not appear on your
Parent/Teacher Conference Meeting Schedule, it means that time slot is no longer
available. Please choose a different time.
e. Your Conference Meeting Schedule, showing the Teacher Name, Student Name, Date,
Begin Time, and End Time, will display in the columns above the selection boxes. (See
below for example.)
f. Repeat process for subsequent teachers.

schedules. Simply click on the second child’s name, click on “Parent/Teacher Conference” and
make your selections. You can see “Suzie’s” English teacher at 4:00 and “John’s” English teacher
at 4:15. All reserved conferences will appear under each child’s name.

10. You will be able to delete and add conferences during the “Conference Scheduling” period from
12:00 noon on October 2 through 11:59 p.m. on October 22. Conference registration will be
closed on Tuesday, October 22 at 11:59 p.m.
TIPS and CAUTIONS:
1. Please note that each conference is 10 minutes and 5 minutes “passing time” has already been
built into the schedule.
2. Please do not reserve two conferences for the same subject.
3. It is possible to accidentally schedule yourself for two conferences on the same day at the same
time. Please make sure you have not over-booked yourself.
4. Remember, if you tried to choose a time that does not appear on your reserved list, it means
that someone else actually reserved that time before you. Please choose a different time for
that teacher conference.
5. Attention TWO HOUSEHOLD FAMILIES: We ask that your families schedule your meetings
together, if possible. If you have any questions or concerns about doing this, please contact
Dave Magnus at (DMagnus@keyschool.org).
