Dear Parents/Guardians:
Valley Central High School invites you to attend our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences in the evening on Monday, Nov. 23, 2026, and during the day on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2026. You will be able to schedule in-person OR virtual conferences following the schedule below.
- Evening Conferences:
Monday, Nov. 23
6-7:20 p.m. , In Person Only
7:30-8:30 p.m., Virtual Only - Daytime Conferences:
Tuesday, Nov. 24
8 a.m.-noon, In Person Only
12:50-4 p.m., Virtual Only
If you schedule virtual conferences, you will receive a Google Calendar Invitation for each appointment, which will contain a link to a Google Meet. On the date and time of your appointment, please join each Google Meet through these emails. During these times, you will be provided with an opportunity for a private conference with your child’s teacher(s). Each parent-teacher conference is limited to six minutes.
In an effort to streamline the process and make it most convenient for parents, we will be using an online scheduling program called “Pick-A-Time,” which will enable you to schedule your own appointment using a home computer or other electronic device. Below, you will find the steps necessary to schedule your conferences. Once scheduled, you will be able to print a full schedule of what you have chosen. If you schedule virtual conferences, it is advised that you email yourself your schedule from the Pick-A-Time scheduling screen. This will provide an email containing all your Google Meet live links to your appointments. On the date and time of your appointments, please join each Google Meet through this email. Access to this website will be available starting Monday, Nov. 2, through Friday, Nov. 20. Information has been sent home and will be posted in your child’s Google Classroom.
Please note that Pick-A-Time will only allow you to schedule one appointment per teacher per student. For students who have collaborative teachers, the program will schedule both teachers at the same time. If you need to cancel or change appointments, you must do it in Pick-A-Time and give at least 24 hours’ notice.
We believe that direct and personal communication with your child’s teachers is vital to their success. We encourage you to participate in these parent-teacher conferences. If, for some reason, you cannot attend, please be reminded that you are welcome to call the High School throughout the school year to meet or speak with any staff member.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with our Valley Central High School Families.
If you have any questions or problems with scheduling, please call Jennifer Guidry at (845) 457-2400, ext. 17521.
Sincerely,
Louis Adipietro
Interim Principal
