York Parent-Teacher Conferences - Part 2

Okay, after the initial screw up, York had a solid "Plan B" in place.

Automated phone calls at 6:30 Sunday eveningn let parents know that the on-line system was down, and that live registration would begin at 7:00pm in the fieldhouse. My wife immediately left for the school.

She arrived to find order and assistance. And, about 200 other parents. Anyway . . . the staff at York had tables and registration materials in place; had schedules for all the students printed and available, so parents could make sure they saw the correct teachers; had people directing the parents as to where to go; and had all this done before a single person arrived.

It tells me three things.
1) York really had no faith in their on-line registration system. If they had, then Plan B would not have been put into place before Plan A failed.
2) York has plenty of parents that care about their kids. Like I said, over 200 parents were their before 7:00 to sign up for conferences. That means they all got the call, dropped what they were doing, and went to York. impressive.
3) Finally, York needs to start now in finding a stable, workable on-line registration system for next year. Don't wait. Do it now.

So kudos, York, for pulling a success out of a massive failure.
