November

Elementary Conferences will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 1:25-3:25 PM and Thursday, November 6, 5:00-8:00 PM (all conference time slots will be 12 minutes in length). We will be using PTCFAST for online scheduling, which allows parents/guardians to be in charge of their conference schedules.

Parents/guardians can access the conference sign-ups by clicking on a link that will be put on the DWS webpage using the following steps:

Accessing PTCFAST:

· Visit the DWS webpage. Click on the green button labeled “PTCFast Conference Sign-Up.”

· A list of all teachers (by grade or subject) will be displayed.

· Click on the names of your student’s teachers with whom you wish to confer.

· Select a time and enter the required information

· PTCFAST will send you an email confirmation. The email will give you information if you need to change your appointment and will send you a reminder of your appointments.

As always, appointments do book quickly and are on a first come, first served basis. If you are unable to access an appointment with your student’s teacher, please contact that teacher to discuss your student at a different date/time. If you have any questions about the scheduling process, please contact Mrs. Jackson at jjackson@mpsd.org or Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Morris at (781) 834-5045.

At the end of the month, all the All-Stars are entered into a grand prize raffle! The more All-Stars you have, the better chance you have at winning! During our school-wide assembly, Mrs. Jackson pulled one winner from each grade!

Kindergarten - Emmett
