A message from Rick Myles, Superintendent of Scottsbluff Public Schools.
As you may know, Scottsbluff Public Schools is working on implementing an electronic appointment system that will allow all parents to pre-schedule their parent-teacher conferences online. This has become common practice in many school districts and there is a wide array of products we can choose from. When implemented, we are confident this will help parents avoid the hectic, long lines at the middle and high schools and allow for more personal, confidential conversations. It will also allow teachers to see who has scheduled ahead of time and contact other families to arrange appointments as needed. Additionally, blocks of time can be scheduled and conferences planned sequentially to help parents get in and out faster. As we got close to the deadline for the rollout, however, we decided that there were still too many technical problems to move forward this month. Consequently, we have decided to pull back, schedule conferences in more traditional ways this fall and refine the system for likely implementation this spring. Thank you for your understanding.
