Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 29, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Friday, October 30, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Power PTC will open Thursday, October 8, at 4:00 PM and remain available through 11:00 PM Friday, October 23. Families will receive two emails on October 8 – the first containing an activation code and the second with information for accessing and using the system.

A big thank you to Al Hrabosky, Fred Bird, and the St. Louis Cardinals program for visiting and inspiring our students!
