Let’s connect! Parent-teacher conferences are coming up on November 3, and we’d love to see you. This is a great opportunity to celebrate your child’s progress, ask questions, and talk about ways we can support their success together. Scheduling is now open—reserve your time today!

To begin scheduling please navigate to your student’s school scheduling page.

FAQs:
I tried to type in the address for accessing my teacher’s conference schedule, but I am getting an error. What did I do wrong?
You may have missed the underscores in the latter portion of the address. These underscores are not visible when the link is active, see correct web address (by school) above.
What if I can’t access the Internet to schedule a conference?
If you are not able to access this system via the Internet, you may schedule a conference appointment by contacting your child’s teacher.
What if I need to schedule multiple conferences (more than one child in one school)?
If you have more than one child for whom you need to schedule, you should select (check) all teachers with whom you need to conference from the list of available teachers. You will then be prompted to enter the children’s names for the corresponding teacher. When that is done you can proceed with registering your email address. You will receive a link via email to access the teachers’ conference schedules. You will see all selected schedules at one time.
What happens if I realize I cannot make the scheduled time and need to delete or reschedule my conference?
When you register your email address for the conference, PTC FAST sends you an email with a link for scheduling with your child’s teacher. After you schedule your conference, another link and a parent code are provided for making changes to already scheduled conferences or for logging into the site if the scheduling link does not work for some reason.
I am concerned about providing my email address to PTC Fast? What is their privacy policy?

I registered my child's name, my name, and my email address but have not gotten the email from your system that allows me to select a time.
Normally you should receive this email quickly, but email systems are complex and sometimes there are delays. If you have not received this follow-up email within about an hour, we suggest you check your spam filter to see if it has put the email in a folder (typically called JUNK or SPAM). If that doesn't work, you can simply call the school and ask them to make the appointment for you, which they can easily do online themselves.
I signed up for an appointment. The system told me the appointment was made, but I have not gotten a confirmation email.
