Parent Teacher Conference Scheduling With Edsby
Your parents and teachers are already talking on Edsby. Now they can schedule parent-teacher conferences online, automatically, without leaving the app they already use.
It used to be that scheduling parent-teacher conferences meant a lot of paper, time and effort, or expensive standalone software that usually didn't tie into your other systems. Known as parent-teacher conferences in North America and parents' evenings in the UK and elsewhere, it remains one of the most valuable and most time-consuming events on the school calendar. Parent-teacher conference scheduling can be done directly in Edsby, the same Edsby your parents and teachers already use.
Edsby already knows everybody
Edsby already knows every class, teacher, student and parent in your district. There is no new roster to build, no extra system to learn, and no additional SIS integration required.
Easy for teachers
Teachers block off times they are unavailable and see every booking on a live dashboard. A room number or a video link both work the same way, in person or online.
Gives parents power
Parents get the same instant Edsby message they already use with teachers, then pick the exact slot they want. Families with more than one child see every student’s schedule side by side.
Accommodates everyone
Office staff can book, change or cancel a meeting on a parent’s behalf, even one without an Edsby account, so no family is left out. Every booking updates in real time.
Smart scheduling
Customizable slot lengths, flexible teacher breaks and editable bookings keep the schedule flexible for everyone. Printable calendars make the day easy to follow for staff and families alike.
Administrative help
Office admins assist with bookings and oversee the whole schedule, with live counts of booked, open and blocked slots. They can search by date or monitor by teacher.
