P-T Conference Reminder
PTCFAST-EWS Elementary Conferences (PK-5):
Trimester 1 Elementary Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Monday evening, December 12, 2022, (6:00-8:00 pm) and Wednesday afternoon, December 14, 2022, (1:30-3:30 pm). All elementary schools utilize the conference scheduler, PTCFAST, which allows parents/guardians greater equity in terms of parent accessibility to teachers/specialists.
Parents/Guardians can access the conference sign-ups by clicking the link below which brings up the EWS web page which will go “live” shortly after school ends on Wednesday, December 7th @3:45.
http://www.ptcfast.com/schools...
A list of all teachers will be displayed.
Click on the name(s) of your child’s teacher(s) with whom you wish to conference.
Select a time and enter the required information (children and parent’s name and email).
PTCFAST.com will send you an email confirmation. The email will give you all the information you need should 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 serve 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 the EWS Office asap, to request an available conference time.
Should you have any questions about the scheduling process please contact Jean Milch, Assistant Principal at 781-834-5090 or jmilch@mpsd.org

With the change in the weather as we enter the winter months, we will see an increase in the number of respiratory viruses. Here are a few tips to stay healthy and stop the spread.
Practice hand hygiene frequently with soap and water or hand sanitizer.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. If a tissue is not available, cover them with an elbow, not a hand.
Clean high-touch surfaces in your home frequently with household disinfectants.
Keep your child home from school if they have a fever, especially in combination with a cough, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, congestion, runny nose, or sore throat. They should remain home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications.
Avoid social gatherings if you or your children are ill.
Absences: Upon returning to school after any absence, a child is required to have a note from a parent/guardian. A doctor’s note is required if a student is out five (5) or more consecutive days. If an absence is due to a communicable disease or a bone fracture, a doctor’s note is required the day the student returns to school. To assist us in providing the best possible care for your child, please keep your school nurse informed of any illness or injury via a written note which should include any recess limitations.
Annual Screenings: Hearing and vision screenings will take place and progress through the month of November. If it is recommended that your child needs to be referred for further vision or hearing assessment, you will be contacted by the school nurse.
Snacks and Water Bottles: Please remember to send your child to school each day with a healthy snack and a refillable water bottle.
Physical Exams: If you have a child in Preschool, Kindergarten, or fourth grade and have not sent in an updated physical exam, please do so as soon as possible. You can send the updated physical form in your child’s backpack, email it to the school nurse at awhite@mpsd.org, or ask the pediatrician to fax the most recent physical to 781-834-5094.
Thank you!
Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
