[AISLE-Share] High School Parent/Teacher Conferences

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Hi!

Our parent/teacher conferences are run a bit differently from yours... We
have all teachers and counselors set up with a small table in our field
house, and then it's basically an open house where parents can walk around
and meet with the teachers they'd like to talk to.  I am set up to do tech
help with our technology coordinator (specifically with Skyward and
Schoology), and last year I brought down some information about the library
and library programs (such as Lincoln Award and Book Club info).  I even
had copies of our latest book club read out on the table and got a several
comments about it.

Hope this helps some!
