When it comes to scheduling, I send home a form with students outlining all the time slots available for conferences. I instruct the parents to mark their top 3 preferences with a 1, 2, and 3, and to put an X on any times that will NOT work. Once all parents have returned the forms, I can put together a schedule that works for everyone. I can schedule in breaks for myself where needed, and accommodate parents' needs at the same time.
