Scheduling Parent-Teacher Conferences
Scheduling for our Fall Remote Parent-Teacher Conferences via Zoom is now open. Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17. On Friday, Nov. 6, you received an email from support@ptcwizard.com with your login information. The primary family contact for your student ( as parents identified in our PowerSchool student information system at the time of registration) received the email communication from PTC Wizard. Please go ahead and log into your PTC Wizard account to make sure you can access the dashboard. Due to our limited conference availability, we ask that our families with two households collaborate to find a time for both parents to attend each teacher conference. Please use the PTC Wizard website to schedule conferences. For more about scheduling, please read the e-notice on conference scheduling.
