Please click here to visit our website for instructions on scheduling your conferences. We are asking parents who are planning to attend conferences to schedule five-minute time slots with the teachers with whom they would like to speak. If a parent or guardian does not have any concerns or questions for their child’s teacher, they do not need to feel obligated to schedule appointments during that time.
Families can sign up for a conference until 11am on October 14th. If parents are planning to see multiple teachers, we recommend leaving 5-10 minutes between scheduled appointments to join the next meeting.
In order to schedule appointments, it is important for parents to be able to successfully login to ParentVUE. You may use either the ParentVUE mobile app or visit https://rcsvue.rochester.k12.mi.us
If a parent is having difficulties with their ParentVUE login, they can email ParentVUE support at [email protected]
