Parent/Guardian Interview Night

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Parent/Guardian Interview Night is on Thursday, April 4th from 6:30-8:30 . You will have an opportunity to meet with your child(ren)’s teacher(s) and learn more about the classroom. Families can use Edsby, an online platform, to schedule a meeting time with their child(ren)’s teacher(s) on Parent/Guardian Interview Night. You will receive an invitation to sign up for a meeting time once the schedules are available. Edsby is a cloud-based platform that lets families easily reserve times to meet with your child(ren)’s teachers. YRDSB in partnership with Edsby, has created a secure platform that protects the privacy of information for families.

Creating an Edsby Account or Using an Existing One

Families who already have an Edsby account may use their previously created account.  The username is the full email address that is on file at your child(ren)’s home school and the password is the one created at activation. If you have forgotten your password, you can find resources on the Board website to help, including how to reset your password.

Families who do not have an Edsby account will need to create one to access the online appointment scheduler for their child’s teachers for Parent/Guardian Interview Night. For help creating an Edsby account, instructions can be found on the Board website. An email from York Region District School Board with instructions on how to create an Edsby account will be sent to your email inbox. If you do not receive the email, please check your junk mail folder to ensure you do not miss this opportunity.

Families who do not wish to book a time online or require other accommodations can contact the classroom teacher directly. 

For help signing up for Parent/Guardian Interviews, please visit our board website.
