PTCFast.com

PTCFast.com is a free website designed to make it easy to schedule parent-teacher conferences. It was designed by an educator and a software designer who believe that scheduling software should be easy to use the first time--without reading instructions or user guides. The site will be supported by ads (but we have a strong privacy policy for safeguarding user information.)

A PTCFast user (teacher or school administrator) can set up as many different conferences as he or she would like, with the same or different blocks of conference times. For each conference, the website provides a link to be distributed to parents. Using this link, a parent can sign up for whatever time is convenient.

We have a simple and strong privacy policy: We will not use the parent emails or student lists for any purpose other than communicating with the parents about their specific parent-teacher conference. We will not sell the emails provided by teachers and administrators to anyone else, or use them for any purpose other than (a) communicating with users about your conferences or (b) providing occasional updates on any changes that might take place in this parent-teacher scheduling software or possibly, on no more than a few occasions, letting you know if we release other free scheduling software likely to be of interest to teachers.

Though easy to use, the software has many convenient features, including:

• Parents can change their appointment at any time.
• Parents receive a reminder of their appointment time.
• Teacher/administrator can check the schedule at any time, and be notified of late sign-ups.
• Administrators can set up a common schedule (“template”) to be used by multiple teachers.
