IA-West Families,
We are pleased to continue the online system to schedule Parent/Guardian and Teacher Conferences. This system – Conference Manager – is user-friendly for families and has been very successful in the past few years. Conferences this year will be a mix of virtual and in-person sessions. Virtual sessions will be conducted over Google Meet. In-person sessions will be in the Lakeland Media Center.
Conferences will be at the following times:
Wednesday, October 29th: 5:00-8:00 pm In-Person
Thursday, October 30th: 1:00-4:00 pm Virtual
Thursday, October 30th: 5:00-8:00 pm In-Person
The process for booking interviews is broken into the following steps:
Step 1: Pre-Register at https://ia-west.schoolsoft.com
This can be done at any time. It is suggested that you PREREGISTER prior to Sunday, October 12th. You can set up a Parent Account by following the link above. Click the REGISTER NOW button and complete the registration form. Your login credentials (email and password) will remain in the system to make it easy to access the Conference Manager in the future.
If you used the system last year for IA-West, then you just need to log in. If you forget your password, you can select the “Forgot Your Password” link and have it sent to you.
To ensure your email program does not block emails sent from the Conference Manager, we suggest adding appointments@schoolsoft.com to your address book.

Today, the Girls Varsity Golf team qualified for the D1 State Championship for the first time since 2005 with a team score of 343 in the MHSAA Regional held at Twin Lakes GC. The team played well under pressure and in difficult conditions, facing rain, wind and cold temperatures throughout the round. All five (4 IAW student-athletes) Eagles placed inside the top 20 individually en route to their second place team finish. Senior Anna Linen (80, 3rd) and freshman Abigail Ngo (83, 4th) both earned medals for their top 5 performance. Senior Claire Linen (90, 14th) and junior Cailyn Milewski (90, 14th) contributed to the impressive team effort. Congratulations!
Congratulations to IAW graduate, Class of 2016, Nicholas Barron for his 2025 CAP Distinguished Medical Student Award and the 2025 CAP Foundation Sparking Interest in Pathology Award in the field of pathology. Current IA students, pay attention to Nicholas' advise about mental well-being, "I wish I hadn’t been so hard on myself during undergrad. Now, I make it a rule to stop working at 8 p.m. every night. Prioritizing your well-being is crucial.”
