School Communication Software for Administrators

Want to run your school’s parent-teacher conferences smoothly – and effectively?

We’ve designed the School Signals Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling Tools to reduce the individual conference setup and scheduling times – making the signup process hassle-free for school administrators, teachers, and parents.


Put Parents in Control of the Time They Will Get

A paper-based method often asks parents to indicate their three most preferred times. This leaves parents on the guessing side on what time they will get. The online scheduling puts parents in control of the time they get. 

 

Say No To Hard-to-find Email Chains

An email-based method where parents send the teacher information at their preferred times quickly clutters the teacher’s inbox. With a parent-teacher online scheduling tool, the teacher does not need to shuffle between tens of emails. A teacher will set their available times and check online what times parents have selected.



Reduce Mistakes

While conferences are, in most cases, run at set dates in the school, it is quite common that the teacher’s signup sheets include typos with dates. With the School Signals online scheduling tool, the school’s administrator sets the dates for the school-wide conference, and the classroom teacher enters their available times for conferencing. This reduces the chances of misleading errors.

 

Make Rescheduling Easy

Rescheduling is a hassle from a teacher’s point of view, often resulting in several time-consuming back-and-forth emails. The digital tools make rescheduling far easier. The teacher can set the timeframe when cancellations and rescheduling are allowed.



Collect Pre-Conference Information

Many teachers prefer to collect information from parents before the conference to help them prepare and improve the flow of school-home communication. The School Signals parent-teacher conference signup process seamlessly integrates online form filling into the signup flow. The online forms can be created and published school-wide or individually per classroom.



App, Tablet, Desktop – a User’s Choice

All conference scheduling tools are available on desktop, mobile and app – and integrated with email and app push notifications.
