Essex High School invites you to our Fall Caregiver-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, October 21st, and Thursday, October 22nd, 2026.
On Wednesday, October 21st, conferences are in person at Essex High School 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.
Thursday, October 22nd, 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.
