Parent-Teacher Conference Outline: What You Need to Know

As we approach parent-teacher conferences, it's essential to have a clear understanding of how our interpretation services will operate. Our interpreters are independent contractors who do not have access to Google Suite through Gmail, which means they cannot join online meetings set up through Google Classroom.

To ensure that our interpreters can participate in the meetings immediately, please follow these guidelines:

* Provide meeting links, phone numbers, and PINs for all video and scheduled phone interpreter meetings. This way, one interpreter can service multiple families.

* Sign up students who need interpretation in blocks of time to maximize efficiency.

* Give as much notice as possible for conferences and specify on the request form if you prefer an on-demand phone interpreter or a video conference.

Here are some additional details to keep in mind:

* For video conferences or scheduled phone conferences, please have teachers or the person conducting the conference submit the request form by email, fill out the form online, or call us at (505) 881-9429, ext.

* For every day or phone interpretation, we provide a phone number and access codes so that the host of the meeting can make an outgoing call to connect with an interpreter. Our interpreters are available from 7 a.m.

It's also important to note that our office will not schedule any other type of meeting (such as IEP, EDT, SAT, or FBA) on days specifically designated by the district for parent-teacher conferences. This is due to high demand for interpreters and our commitment to ensuring that all students have access to interpretation services.

By following these guidelines and providing advance notice, we can work together to make parent-teacher conferences a success for everyone involved. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
