Overview
MyConferenceTime is an easy-to-use, online parent-teacher conference scheduler developed by FislerData, LLC.
This tool was found by our Tech Coach team and was implemented at one of our schools and the solution has spread.
Because of the ease-of-use of this tool and the number of tools supported by the Technology Department, we ask that you work with the self-help resources (first!) and if you are still having difficulty, contact MyConferenceTime for support.

A Teacher is not able to log in; Teachers not receiving emails; Teachers in Multiple Buildings
If a teacher is in multiple buildings, they might run into a problem where they can't log in to one of the buildings. For this issue you will need to open a ticket with MyConferenceTime (see below) and request that they merge accounts. Merging is usually the solution when a staff member says that they are logging in but still unable to view/edit their schedule.
If teachers are not receiving emails, please open a ticket with MyConfenceTime.
When you open a ticket, please provide information about the teacher (name, email and what buildings the teacher needs access to).
Contacting MyConferenceTime
After exhausting ALL of the above :-)...
- Submit a support ticket to MyConferenceTime asking your question or requesting help. When you open a ticket, please provide information about the teacher (name, email and what buildings the teacher needs access to).
