We are also using PTCFast, but what we are going to try is posting the Meet link where the teacher's room number unusually goes.  That way the link is attached to the teacher in the conference registration email that gets kicked to parents (though we will also have a document backup).

We are going to have all the teachers in a google doc and email it out to all the parents. They will sign up for a time via PTCFast then  when it is conference time - go to the doc, find the teacher and click on the zoom  link . The teachers will all have their waiting rooms on with a message. 
It will be an experiment having obviously never done it this way before.

I think this is where having Class Dojo and only one primary teacher makes life easy for the parents.  I am not sure how you could do this!

Subject: Parent/Teacher Conference Link Sharing

 

Greetings-

                We’re thinking about our Parent/Teacher conferences via Zoom this year and the best ways to share a link.

 

                I think using the Personal Meeting ID will simplify it for teachers, but how to get the links in an accessible place for parents without posting on the web…. (We’ve already been Zoom bombed once…)

               

                If each teacher emails it out… then parents have to make sure they can find the 6 or 7 emails from various teachers to make it to a conference…

 

                And if our secretary sends out a list to each parent or puts it in sign-up genius, they’d need to get the links and passwords from each teacher….

 

                What are others doing this year?

 

~Esther
