HCPSS will use the "Synergy Conference Management" to schedule parent-teacher conferences. Starting Friday, November 13, 2020 at 6:00 a.m. until Thursday, November 19, 2020 at 11:59 p.m., parents/guardians can log into HCPSS Connect (http://www.hcpss.org/connect/) to view and select from the time slots available. Parents without online access may contact Ms. O'Connor in the Lake Elkhorn Student Services office at estelle_oconnor@hcpss.org for assistance in scheduling conferences. You can also call 410-313-7600 and leave a message, and Ms. O’Connor will contact you.** All conferences will be 10 minutes in length, with a 5 minutes break in between each conference, and will take place virtually via google meet.
