Parent-Student-Teacher Conferencing next week!

Progress reports distributed today

Today, students received their progress reports in their period 1 class. If your son or daughter does not have a period 1 class, they can pick theirs up in the Main Office.
Please make sure you ask your son or daughter to see their progress report, and have the conversation with them about the comments teachers have made. This is an opportune time to revisit their goal-setting, and ensure that they are on the path to success!

Book interviews online!

Several of our staff members are part of a pilot project to allow parents to book interviews using an online booking system. Your son or daughter may already have been informed by those teachers of this capability.

To book interviews online

  1. Go to the school website, https://stbenedict.wcdsb.ca
  2. In the menu, go to About Us and then to Staff List
  3. Locate one of your son's or daughter's teachers. If they have a list icon in front of their name, they are participating in the Bookings pilot. Click on their name.
    (If they are not part of the pilot and you want to contact them to book an interview you can click on their email address and send them a message.)
  4. On the right side of the teacher's page (or bottom if you are looking on a mobile phone) you will see the teacher's interview booking information. Scroll down to under the date and select a time that works for you.
  5. Scroll down further and enter your name and email address. Your email address will only be used to communicate information relating to the interview, and will send you a reminder the day before.
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click on Book. Within a minute or two, you should receive verification of your appointment.

Once you book your son's or daughter's appointments, let us know how it went! In next Wednesday's BENN Newsletter there will be a link to a short questionnaire; your feedback will help us determine how we proceed with online bookings. In the meantime, if you would like to submit some feedback on the online booking experience, please email Mr. Milardovic.
