Dear Parents/Guardians,


I hope this message finds you well. We are approaching the time for our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences, and we would like to invite you to meet with us to discuss your child’s progress, strengths, and areas where we can work together to ensure their continued growth and success.


The conferences will take place on Thursday, October 15, from 4:00-8:00 and Tuesday, October 20, from 4:00-8:00. The link to sign up for conferences can be found below. We look forward to connecting with you and discussing how we can support your child's academic and personal development.


Thank you for your continued support!

Carl Ben Eielson Middle School will be using PTCFast again this year as our school-wide scheduling program for our Parent Teacher Conferences. The online scheduling tool will allow parents the ability to schedule a conference time for your student’s parent teacher conference. These instructions will help you navigate the sign up process.


Conferences are set up by the student’s team and not by an individual teacher. Please ask your child which team they are on before scheduling a conference time.


Use the link below to sign up for conferences.
