This is entirely up to you, as the Parent we trust that you know which content areas are most important to your child and you. We want you to enjoy the event to take the opportunity to sit back and hear a little bit form the various teachers in the different disciplines. As a Freshman parent you may feel inclined to see each teacher that your child shows you on their school schedule; please do not feel compelled to do so however, as this event is meant to provide overview of course expectations and to get to know about the teachers here at HSMSE. When do I get to speak to the teachers about the class content as it pertains to my child and their performance? ParentTeacher Conferences will take place October 27th. Sign-up for conferences will be sent out to parents the week of October 24th. However, we encourage parents to take advantage of access to teachers through emails and not to wait until the conferences if you have questions or concerns that may require more than a 5-10 minute conversation. Again, this event is an opportunity to hear about the school courses and from your child’s teachers to give parents a ‘Back to School’ virtual environment. How are the Departments Grouped for this evening? Departments Bio, Chem, Physics, Math, LOTE, Engineering, Social Studies, English, PE/Health, Art/Music, Guidance/Wellness/ICT Troubleshooting – “Something is NOT WORKING!!!” We are all-too-familiar with the ups and downs of technology woes pre- and post-pandemic. See below for some helpful hints should your link access to a particular department not be working. 1) You may be sent to a waiting room or, if the session had to end, you may have been accidentally kicked out. Retry the link a few minutes later or visit another link and return to the session later. 2) The session link does not appear to open. We are anticipating the possibility of zoom link obstacles due to our account limitations. Each teacher has access to update their links in the event a challenge arises. (See your email for the link to access anything that is updated in real time, if an issue occurs with a specific link) 3) Room Access at a particular session may be at capacity. If you attempt to get into a link and you are not able to enter the room because of the room capacity, we suggest you choose another department and try to return to a different session time.
