<div dir="ltr">Hi!<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps some!<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="4">Amy Phillips</font><div><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="2">Riverside Brookfield High School</font></div><div><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="2">Library Media Specialist</font></div><div><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="2"><a href="mailto:aebromberg@gmail.com" target="_blank">aebromberg@gmail.com</a></font></div><div><a href="mailto:phillipsa@rbhs208.net" target="_blank">phillipsa@rbhs208.net</a></div><div><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="2">847-722-6169</font></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Oct 11, 2018 at 2:58 PM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are in a high school and do something great for parent/teacher conferences, would you mind sharing? I don’t get a lot of traffic to the library on those nights, but would like to change that. I was successful this year in getting
some more traffic into the library during Open House. On Open House our parents follow their children’s schedules (7 minutes in “class” and 3 minute passing periods), so there wasn’t much time in the past for them to come to the library. This year, we asked
any parents of students who have a study hall in their schedule to report for the library for a brief presentation on library resources available to students. Parent/teacher conferences work differently since everything is by appointment, so I’m thinking of
setting up some technology stations with spheros, google cardboard, maybe a green screen photo booth, etc., and have my principal mention it in his letter to parents that scheduling is open. I will probably have my presentation from Open House scrolling on
one of the screens in the library, too. I would love to hear what others have done that was successful in getting parents into their space.
