Why Five minute appointments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Feedback from other schools indicates that five minutes is sufficient and still creates enough appointments for teachers to connect with as many parents as the \u201cdrop in format\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if my son or daughter has the same teacher for two subjects, can I get more time?<br \/>\n<\/strong>In most circumstances, 5 minutes will be enough; however more time can be added. The PTC system does not let the parent adjust the time but it can be done by the system administrator. Please contact Mr. Liversidge,\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ian_liversidge@sd42.ca\">ian_liversidge@sd42.ca<\/a>\u00a0, if you feel you will need a 10-minute appointment.
