Conference sign-up & joining your virtual conference info

Conferences are scheduled through Skyward Qmlativ or ParentSquare. Please note that schools will be providing school-specific conference sign-up details in the coming weeks after sign-ups are loaded.

Instructions for conference sign-ups and how to access virtual conferences through Microsoft Teams are below.

Skyward Qmlativ
Some of our schools are using Skyward Qmlativ for conference signups.

  • Login to Skyward Qmlativ Family Access at www.sno.wednet.edu/skyward.

  • Step 1 - On the dashboard select the conferences button.

  • Step 2 - Select the blue arrow next to conference dates.

  • Step 3 - Select a teacher.

  • Step 4 - Select a time slot.

ParentSquare
Some of our schools are using ParentSquare for conference signups. When conference sign-ups are available, you will receive a ParentSquare post from your child’s teacher or school with a link to select an available conference time. Simply open the ParentSquare post, click the conference sign-up link, and choose the date and time that works best for your family. Once selected, your conference time will be reserved. You can access ParentSquare through the ParentSquare app or by logging in through a web browser.

Microsoft Teams conferences

Joining your virtual conference family guide

Your conference will be on Microsoft Teams. It's free, you don't need an account, and your camera is optional.  Choose how you'll join Microsoft Teams:

Computer (no download needed)

  1. At your time, open the meeting link.
  2. Choose Continue on this browser (Chrome or Edge).
  3. Click Allow for the microphone and camera.
  4. Type your name, then click Join now.
  5. Wait in the lobby. Your teacher will let you in.

Phone or tablet (free app required)

  1. A day ahead, install free Microsoft Teams app.
  2. At your time, tap the meeting link.
  3. Tap Join as a guest. No sign-in needed.
  4. Type your name, allow mic and camera, tap Join now.
  5. Wait in the lobby. Your teacher will let you in.

Waiting is normal. "Someone in the meeting should let you in soon" means your teacher may be finishing with 
another family. Please stay on.

Before conference day 

  • Find your link and time. 
  • Phone? Install the Microsoft Teams app. 
  • Charge up and check your wifi. 
  • Find a quiet spot. 
  • Jot down your questions.

During the conference 

  • Join two to three minutes early.
  • The microphone button mutes and unmutes you.
  • The camera button turns video on or off.
  • Use the chat to type a message.
  • When you're done, select the red Leave button.

Having trouble? 
If this happens, try this:

  • It asks me to sign in. Choose Continue on this browser or Join as a guest. 
  • The link won't open on my phone. Install the free Microsoft Teams app, then tap the link again. 
  • No one can hear me. Check that you're unmuted and allowed the microphone. 
  • I can't hear anyone. Turn up your volume, or unplug and re-plug headphones. 
  • Video freezes or is choppy. Turn your camera off, or move closer to your wifi router. 
  • Still waiting to be let in. More than five minutes past your time? Call your school.
