Online scheduler now available

Lincolnview Local Schools have decided to utilize a new Parent/Teacher online scheduler this year. PTCFast is designed to make it easy to schedule parent-teacher conferences. A letter was sent home with students on October 21 explaining how to schedule  appointments.

To pick a time slot, simply go to the Lincolnview website at: http://www.lincolnview.k12.oh.us. Locate the link, Parent/Teacher Scheduler, on the right side under the “Parents and Students” heading. Simply click on it and follow the directions. If you do not have internet access or have any questions, please contact us – for junior high and high school conferences call 419.968.2214 and for elementary conferences call 419.968.2351. Your call will be directed to the appropriate person. Parent-Teacher conferences will be held on November 21 from 4:30-8:30 and on November 22 from noon until 8 p.m. We are excited about the new online scheduler. It should make it easy for you to select the times that work for you. You will receive a confirmation email with a link that allows you to change your appointment time if needed, as well as a reminder of your appointment time. Please remember that the high school conferences are held as a group, so when scheduling your student, please select the same time for all of your student’s teachers.

There is also the opportunity to sign-up for a College Planning Session using the online scheduler. Brenda Leeth will be presenting a college planning session open to parents and students of any age in high school. She will be going over college planning time lines, college entrance exams, scholarship information as well as try to answer your questions about your child’s life after high school. Sign up online to insure that enough handouts will be available. The program will be Monday, November 21 from 7-8 p.m. in the Lecture Hall.
