Parent Teacher Conferences
FOURTH TRIMESTER PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: Parent teacher conferences for the fourth trimester will be held on Wednesday, May 11th from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
If you would like to schedule a conference, click here to utilize our online scheduling system PTCFast. If you are looking to set up a virtual conference, please still choose a conference time through PTCfast and then email the teacher directly to confirm your request to meet virtually.
Accessing PTCFast.com:
1. From the SRS homepage, click on the PTCFast Parent/Teacher Conference Scheduling Link
2. A list of all teachers will be displayed.
3. Click on the name of the teacher with whom you wish to conference.
4. Select a time and enter the required information (child and parent’s name and email).
5. PTCFast.com will send you an email confirmation. The email will give you all the information you need to change your appointment and will send you a reminder of appointments.
As always, appointments book quickly and are on a first come, first served basis. If you are unable to access an appointment with your child’s teacher, please contact that teacher to discuss your child at a later date/time. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact your child’s teacher to request a conference appointment. Should you have any questions about the scheduling process, please contact Angela Hoey at ahoey@mpsd.org.
Postural Screening / Grade 5
Screening for scoliosis will begin soon for all students in grade 5. If you wish to have your child opt out, please send a note to school stating you would like your child to opt out of postural screening by May 20.
Covid testing consent
Covid cases seem to be on the rise a bit. As you know, the school no longer does contact tracing for close contacts. However, we have covid testing kits available in the nurse office for kids who are symptomatic. If you have not already done so and would like the option, please sign consent by clicking here to allow for covid testing in school if your child isn’t feeling well. You will always be notified for approval before any testing is done (even if you sign the consent).
Thank you! If you have any questions, please reach out!
