To Join a Conference Meeting:  

  • Click on this Canvas link below and follow the instructions to Join a Meeting section. This section describes how to join a meeting using a Google Meet Nickname/Code or a Google Meet link.  https://hcpss.instructure.com/courses/77796/pages/g-suite-google-meet.

  • You will need to log in with your student’s credentials when you are entering the Google Meet for the conference.

  • Please be prompt, but NOT early!  If you come to the Google Meet while the teacher is still in another conference, you may get denied entry. Please wait patiently and do not retry to enter the Google Meet, as the teacher will see you are awaiting entry and continuous attempts may cause the system to lock you out. 

  • Should you have technical difficulties, please email the teacher. During the conference window times, assistance will also be available in our breakout rooms for any parent who is experiencing technical difficulties and/or needs help or support accessing their conferences. The Conference Technical Assistance Google Meet Code will be sent the morning of conferences.

If you have any questions or concerns about conferences and/or scheduling, please contact Ms. Peterson. Thank you for being valuable partners in your student’s academic journey. We look forward to seeing you during the Parent/Teacher Conference week.
