Parent Conferences Made Easy!


Hi friends! How are you?!? Things are finally calming down around here! I feel like I can catch my breathe, and my kiddos and I are in a rhythm! It's a loud, chaotic rhythm but it IS a rhythm! :) I'm stopping by with some freebies and some ideas for you! 

First, I can't believe I haven't thought of this before. Seriously...this has made my life SOO much easier. In the past, I have always sent a sign up list home with my parents to sign up for conferences. It still works great and I will still be using that some but I'm trying this first! I sent out a link to a Google Doc and allowed parents to choose their chosen time.



Here's all you need to do! 


  







My parents are loving it, and I had over half of them signed up by the very next day! I do realize that this has a flaw...parents could erase one name and put theirs. But I really don't think that would happen...at least very often. Plus, I just check it every few hours and it's easy to see if there was a change! 

Now...for the actual parent conference, I made this little packet for my kiddos to fill out so we could discuss. :) It was really eye opening for me too! I like to think I know my kiddos pretty well, but I was surprised by some of their answers!!

It's editable so you can type your own rules! :) Just click the picture to grab your copy! 


Finally be sure to check out this other freebie in my store! It's packed full of goodies for Parent Conferences!! 

Have a great weekend!! :)

  2. What a clever idea. We use Volunteer Spot and it works pretty well, but can be a pain sometimes. This is a great alternative. If I had my choice, I would be using google docs all the way.

    1. I signed up with Volunteer Spot and it seemed really complicated. It took me FOREVER to set up my conference times and I figured parents would get frustrated!

  3. I just made my form to use!! I can't wait to see how it works out! Thanks so much for the idea. Also, I would love the freebie, but when I click it, it take me to the picture, not a link. Thanks again!!

  4. Oh Haley! I LOVE the How I am Doing? *freebie*. I have already had a week of parent conferences but this will be perfect for my kiddos to use as a beginning to goal setting. Thank you so much for sharing this. You are amazing sweet friend. :)
