Sign-ups begin on Monday, October 6 for Parent Conferences to be held on Friday, October 24 and Monday, October 27. 

We will again be using PTC Wizard to schedule conferences.  This online scheduling tool allows you to create an account for your family, review available conference times, select the teachers you'd like to meet and generate an individual schedule of appointments.  Follow the easy online steps to create a schedule; then, an email confirmation of your selected conference times will be sent once you're finished.  Detailed step-by-step instructions are attached for your reference.

For those families who used PTC Wizard last year, sign-in using your email address.  Password reminders can be sent to your email should you forget your password. 

Please be sure to read the attached guidelines from Guy Bailey.  Note that conferences are primarily for core academic teachers.  There are no conferences with a student's advisor.

Sign-ups are on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Monday, October 6 and concluding Wednesday, October 22.  To get started, go to http://stlukesct.ptcwizard.com.

Grades 5, 6, 7
Friday, 10/24      8:30 a.m. - 11:45 p.m.
Monday, 10/27   8:30 a.m. - 11:45 p.m.     

Grades 8, 9
Friday, 10/24      12:30 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.

Middle School afternoon activities are cancelled on these testing days.  Buses will run their morning and afternoon routes.  Parents should arrange for transportation to accommodate the testing schedule.
