Step Two (optional): Select a parent and student from the "Parent-Student" drop-down list in a time slot to schedule a conference, or select "Blocked Off" to reserve the time for a break.
Fun Fact: As families book their conferences in the jmc Family portal, the "Parent-Student" drop-down will automatically populate for you.
