How it works:

Three of the pages in this packet offer you the ability to type in text, which is then automatically copied to several forms throughout the document. This feature, called “fillable forms”, is designed to save you valuable time; the layout and formatting are already done for you!

Customizing your document is easy, just enter the specific details for your class in the spaces provided. Some areas also include suggested text for your convenience, or you can type in your own if you prefer.

The areas listed below can all be customized:

  • Preferred Greeting (Dear Parents, Dear Pre-K Families etc.)
  • Conference Month
  • Sign-Up
  • Purpose of Conferences
  • Teacher Contact Info
  • RSVP Date
  • Room Number
  • Grade Level
  • Appointment Days
  • Appointment Dates
  • Appointment Times
  • Class List (up to 24 students-if you have more, simply open another copy and “save as” using a new name)

Once you enter all the information on the main page it will automatically duplicate throughout the document- all you have to do is hit print! Each parent note is customized with the child’s name, conference time, teacher’s name and contact details saving you hours of work!

Detailed instructions are included in the packet for you.
