Families Needing Separate Parent-Teacher Conferences

ReachMyTeach recognizes the diverse needs of families and ensures that separated, divorced, or divided families have the ability to schedule separate parent-teacher conferences. 

Overview

When signing up for parent-teacher conferences, guardians have the option to select "Don't share conference with other guardians." This option ensures:

• Conference details will not be shared with another guardian connected to the student.

• Each guardian can schedule a separate conference.

Please note: This option must be selected by the first guardian who responds to the initial conference invitation.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Receiving the Conference Invitation

• You will receive a notification from ReachMyTeach with a link to sign up for your child's parent-teacher conference or you can click https://reachmyteach.com/?redirect=ptc/invites/all

• Click the link to access the conference scheduling page.

• 
• 

2. Selecting the "Don’t Share Conference" Option

You will then be on the scheduling page. Select the date and time that works best for you to meet with the teacher.

• You will see an option labeled "Don’t share conference with other guardians." when you go to sign up!
• 

• Important: If you do not select this option, the conference details will be shared with all guardians connected to the student.

3. Scheduling Your Conference

• After selecting the "Don’t share conference" option, proceed to choose an available time slot for the conference.

• Confirm your choice and submit.

4. What Happens Next

• The other guardian(s) connected to the student will still receive the invitation to schedule their own separate conference.

• They will not see any details about your conference.

Key Points to Remember

• First to Respond: The first guardian to respond to the invitation must select the "Don’t share conference" option to enable separate scheduling.

• District Setup: Guardians connected to a student are determined by the district. Typically, this includes individuals with custody and/or educational rights.

• Separate Scheduling: Each guardian is responsible for scheduling their own conference once the option is selected.
