Parent Teacher Conference Sign Up

D96 Communication

October 21, 2025

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.
