Fall Parent/Caregiver Teacher Conferences

Essex High School

October 13, 2025

Dear Essex High School Families and Caregivers,

We invite you to participate in our Fall Parent/Caregiver Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, October 22nd and Friday, October 24th, 2025.

On Wednesday, October 22nd, conferences are in person from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. No appointment is necessary. Wednesday’s conferences are arena-style and teachers will be located in the gym, library, and cafeteria. Caregivers will need their student’s schedule to determine which teachers to conference with. There will be assistance for those needing help accessing PowerSchool for schedules.

Friday, October 24th, conferences are from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Conferences are VIRTUAL and by appointment only. PTC Fast Scheduler will be used to make appointments for conferences. This system will allow families to sign-up for conferences on their computer or phone by clicking on this link: PTC Fast. You will be able to sign up for multiple conferences all at once, and for multiple students if you have more than one student at EHS.
