Parent Teacher Conference Sign Up

D96 Communication

October 21, 2025

The registration portal will reopen on November 5. If you scheduled time with your student's teacher prior to the system being turned off on October 29, you do not need to log back in and select your time slot, as these were all saved.

District 96 Parent Teacher Conferences take place on Thursday, November 20 from 4:00 P.M.–8:00 P.M. and on Monday, November 24 from 11:00 A.M.–8:00 P.M. All parents are encouraged to sign up for a time slot on one of the two designated conference days. Conferences are held in-person at your child’s school. 

The district uses PowerPTC to schedule parent/teacher conferences. Instructions for using the online scheduler to select a conference time are below. The sign-up window opens Monday, October 27 at 11:00 A.M. This is an effort to give parents equal notice and opportunity to sign up as appointment times are selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
