Hello Osprey Families
Progress reports will be sent home on Nov. 20th. We would like to offer you an opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss their progress to date. Teacher conferences will be held during the following time periods:
Thursday Nov. 26th: 4:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Friday Nov. 27th: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Due to Covid-19, conferences will be conducted using the Microsoft Teams virtual meeting app or by phone. As we only have two phone lines at Osprey, we encourage you to opt for a Teams meeting if possible. You can participate in a Teams meeting on a cell phone or computer and you can opt to participate with audio only if you prefer not to use your video camera. By turning off the video option, you would be able to see your child’s teacher and they would be able to hear you.
Many of our junior and intermediate students already know how to use Teams, so if you have an older student in your household, they will likely be able to show you how to join a Teams meeting.
If not, you can follow the instructions below:
Your child’s teacher will send you a link that says Join Microsoft Teams Meeting. Select this link.
You will be taken to a page where you can choose to either join on the web or download the app. Simply follow the instructions on the screen. You may get a message to ‘wait in the lobby’. Your child’s teacher will enable you to enter the meeting when they are ready to meet with you.
To book your teacher conference, please send an email to osp_mail@bwdsb.on.ca. Alternatively, you can call Barb at the school to book your appointments.
Please provide the following information in your email:
- Names of all students you would like a conference for
- Your contact information
- Whether you would prefer Teams or telephone conferences
- Preferred time frame – choose all time frames that will work for you:
Time slot #1: Thurs. Nov. 26, 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
