Elementary Conferences will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 1:25-3:25pm and Thursday, November 7, 6:00-8:00PM. We will be using PTCFAST for online scheduling, which allows parents/guardians to be in charge of their conference schedules.
Parents/guardians can access the conference sign-ups by clicking on a link that will be put on the DWS webpage on Friday, November 1, at 3:00pm using the following steps:
Accessing PTCFAST:
· Visit the DWS webpage. Click on the green button labeled “PTCFast Conference Sign-Up.”
· A list of all teachers (by grade or subject) will be displayed.
· Click on the names of your student’s teachers with whom you wish to conference.
· Select a time and enter the required information (student’s and parent’s name and email).
· PTCFAST will send you an email confirmation. The email will give you information if you need to change your appointment and will send you a reminder of appointments.
As always, appointments do book quickly and are on a first come, first served basis. If you are unable to access an appointment with your student’s teacher, please contact that teacher to discuss your student at a different date/time. If you have any questions about the scheduling process, please contact Mrs. Jackson at jjackson@mpsd.org or Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Morris at (781) 834-5045.
Next PTO Meeting: Monday 11/4/24 in the DWS library at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be held by our new 2024-2025 PTO board. Meetings will continue to be on the first Monday of every month.
Thank you all who contributed and participated in the 2024 DWS Pumpkin Run!
Coming soon! DWS Parents Night out at Winslows Driving Range on 12/5! Details to come.
Please join the DWS PTO on PTBoard, today! PTBoard is an online platform that we will be using to communicate school information, events and volunteer opportunities to families. As we move away from sending home paper flyers, this will be the only way to stay up-to-date on school events and place orders for school spiritwear, etc. Accounts are free to set up and in no way commit you to volunteering for the PTO. Please reach out with questions at yourdwspto@gmail.com.
Download the App “PTBoard Mobile” in the App Store today!

Please email yourdwspto@gmail.com with any general questions and for more information. Would you like to volunteer? Please reach out to: dwsvolunteers@gmail.com
