Hi parents,
Our parent teacher conferences this week will be held on Zoom (unless you contacted me to let me know that you are coming in person.) This is a first for me and there is a reasonable chance that I could mess it up. I am a bit put off by the idea that we are still under the 10 minute meeting window this year (I have a new parent entering the Zoom conference every 10 minutes.) I am guessing that some of us will have connection problems. I would like you to enter the meeting sooner than your scheduled time. You will enter something called the 'waiting room.' I will let you in as soon as I remove the previous parent. The only potential good news with this system is that when I fall behind- it seems almost inevitable- you will be sitting in the comfort of your own home this year rather than in the hallway of a school! I am trying to view the glass as half full. I think the main focus of our meetings from my end is to make sure you and your child are comfortable with the in school and out of school nature of the school year so far. I can provide feedback on what I am seeing in class, and I can offer advice, but I would like to leave each meeting having met you and feeling like we are on the same page. These meetings fall of the theme of this year, which seems to be "too much to do in too little time." If we need more than 10 minutes, we will need to stop our meeting and schedule another meeting for another day. I am happy to do this. I like to talk as long as necessary to make sure we are both comfortable going forward. That can't always be accomplished in a 10 minute span.

Thank you, John
