A Message From Mr. Fitzpatrick
Yesterday, PTC Wizard Conference Sign Up was launched so parents may sign up for conferences. Unfortunately, PTC Wizard had some issues on their end and the program crashed multiple times. If you are continuing to experience difficulty while trying to sign up, please reach out to your child's teacher. We do have the capability to assign time slots to a family. We apologize for the difficulty. Hopefully, everything will be rectified and everyone can get the spot they desire.
