Online Parent Teacher ConferenceScheduling Software

Meet the Teacher is the leading online appointment scheduling software allowing parents to book online for parent teacher conferences and events. It’s incredibly easy to use, backed by outstanding support and completely free for your first conference.

Preferred by parentsParents love being able to choose their own appointment times with the teachers they want to see, rather than leaving the decision in the hands of their child, or sending a reply slip back to school hoping it’s not lost at the bottom of schoolbags.

Quick and easy for parentsThe system automatically shows the correct teachers the parent should book appointments with. Teachers’ availability is shown on one screen, allowing them to plan their appointment times with ease. Once booked, parents receive an email confirmation of their schedule.

Conferences run more to timeA sensible gap between appointments can be automatically inserted to ensure parents arrive at their next appointment on time. In fact most schools report their conference runs smoother as a result.

Streamline school eventsParents can also book tickets for school shows and places at after school activities online. See instantly who’s signed up for each event, saving you from handling RSVP slips back from parents.

Twins & separated parentsSeparated parents can each book their own set of appointments. Twins are also taken care of with the system making sure the parent has a clash free schedule.

“Very Impressed, total control and visibility that we do not see when leaving it in the hands of our child! Thank you so much for making my life so much less stressful!”- A parent


Meet the Teacher can be launched quickly and easily in your school or district thanks to direct SIS integration. All teachers, parents, students and class rosters are automatically synchronized. There are no manual data files to upload!

Integrated with over 35,000 U.S. schoolsMeet the Teacher has partnered with Clever, a FERPA and SOPIPA compliant service which links automatically with over 20 popular SIS’s such as: PowerSchool, Aspen, Infinite Campus, Skyward and Aeries SIS.

Save timeA web-based system results in a significant reduction in administration time, helping you make valuable time savings. Parents book their own appointments online and can change or cancel their appointments without having to contact the school office.

Gain insight with reports & statisticsPinpoint which students are without appointments, even when your conference runs over multiple days. Intuitive reports also show if parents book early or late appointments enabling you to plan future conference times.

Monitor and track parents’ attendanceTeachers and administrators can easily record and track parents’ attendance, with reports showing full contact details allowing absent parents to be followed up after the conference.

“ It has saved us so much administrative time as coordinating appointments for parents used to be a major task for one of the clerical staff. Evenings run much closer to time and parental attendance has improved hugely from around 70% up to about 85-90% for most year groups.”- Ms Baldry, Cotham School

Save valuable teaching timeImagine the wasted teaching time if teachers spent just 2 minutes at the start of each lesson for a week arranging appointment times with pupils on paper. Teachers are still able to book appointments on behalf of parents, confident that they aren’t double booked.

Stay on top of busy teachersWhen booking appointments, parents have the option of adding themselves to a waiting list whenever a teacher is fully booked. Administrators and teachers can then respond to parents’ requests to make alternate arrangements.

Focus meetings with appointment notesParents can choose to include a short message to each teacher when booking their appointments to focus the discussion at their appointment.

Printed appointment sheetsTeachers with access to a tablet or computer at parent teacher conferences can view their appointment schedule online. For those without, a separate appointment sheet can be printed in bulk with just one click.

Add appointments on behalf of parentsFor those parents that prefer to phone the school or for those without the internet, administrators and teachers can easily add appointments on their behalf and produce a neatly formatted appointment sheet to hand to the parent.

“ Parental engagement has improved; we have had many more appointments than previously when booking took place through students.”- Ms Barfoot, Brookfield Community School

Flexible for all schools Each conference can have different teachers, grades and subjects available for booking. Elementary schools can have parents book with the class teacher while high schools can have parents book with subject teachers and homeroom teachers.

Run all kinds of conferencesWhen setting up a conference you choose the grades it’s for and which subjects are bookable. For example, a two day parent teacher conference for grades K-5 with the class teacher and teaching assistants.

Easily organise shared classesWhen a class is taught by multiple teachers, the teacher who will represent the class is selected from a simple drop down list. For example, parents see a specific teacher rather than one of three Science teachers.

Works around teacher availabilityIt’s incredibly easy to have a teacher starting earlier or finishing later than everyone else at a conference. For teachers absent on the day, a message can be easily sent in bulk to those parents that were due to see them with a customized message explaining their absence.

Easy parent loginParents login from any internet connected device with their name and their child’s details, there’s no password to remember. Alternatively parents can login with their surname and a unique 8 digit code generated by the system.

Branded with your school logoChoose a theme which matches your school colors and create the right impression when parents access the system. Terminology can be changed too if parent teacher conferences are known by another name at your school.

Fully hosted web based serviceSimply inform parents of your school’s Meet the Teacher address and they’re able to instantly login and book their appointments.

Tailored for your schoolEvery school runs parent teacher conferences differently and it’s all supported by Meet the Teacher

“What a superb system! For the first time, not only do we have appointments with all the teachers we need to see, but in a sensible order so we are not running from one building to another often! Thank you!”- A parent

“This is an extremely good system. As a teacher I feel every school should be using this. As a parent and as an educator it’s much more organised and no worrying about pupils losing sheets and having the classroom numbers to facilitate easy access and route choice to each appointment.”- Mr Falkingham, a parent

“Customer service has been exemplary and they continue to listen and act upon our (and other schools) feedback. Our parents and carers can choose the appointments themselves rather than relying on the students who would ‘forget’ or ‘all appointments have gone’ by the time they see the teacher.”- Mr Still, Hamble Community Sports College

“The launch of this system has generated more positive feedback from parents than anything we have ever done before.”- Mr Fendek, Aldridge School
