HMS March Conferences

Changes to March Conferences -

Tuesday, March 17 conferences are now night conferences from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

Wednesday, March 18 conferences remain day conferences from 1:05 PM to 3:05 PM.

Students will be dismissed at 12:35 PM on both days.

Conference Reminders

Families can access the online conference schedule system, Myconferencetime, starting Wednesday, March 4 after 9:00 AM and going through Monday, March 16 at 12:00 PM.

Access to the online system -

Go to the HMS website and click on Spring Conference “Click here to Sign-Up” and follow the directions. 

Quick tip: Look for emails from “noreply@myconferencetime.com” when searching email for conference confirmation communications. 

 All conferences will be in person unless a parent/guardian requests a Google Meet link directly from the teacher.  

If you prefer a virtual session, please contact the teacher to request a Google Meet link to conduct your conference virtually after you have confirmed your conference time through My Conference Time Online Scheduler.  

Scheduling Reminder - 

Due to limited slots available per teacher, it is not possible for every parent/guardian to meet with every one of their child’s teachers. Therefore, parents/guardians are asked to limit their selection to two core teachers per student (Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science,Spanish, or French) and three Unified Arts teachers (Phys. Ed., Art, Music, Tech Ed, and Health). 

If parents/guardians wish to meet with additional core/unified art teachers or the team as a whole please contact the specific teacher or team to set up a mutually agreed upon time, during the school day, outside of the conference dates to meet. 

Parents/guardians can also schedule meetings with the guidance counselor, social worker, psychologist, speech and language, and special education teachers using this system.

Please remember that we will have a modified early dismissal time on the conference days to accommodate the conference schedule.  Therefore, students will be dismissed at 12:35 pm.
