Parents are seen on a first come, first served basis and form a queue at each teacher's table. Conversations are designed to be three to five minutes in length. When longer conversations are needed, it is suggested to use the time at PTCs to outline the objective of a longer meeting and schedule it with the teacher for a later time. In addition, both Guidance and College Counselors are available for consultation during PTCs in the Arrupe Commons.
