Designed for simplicity, the Parent/Teacher booking system provides a facility for parents to book
their interviews online
Parents
Your school parents are gonna love this system. They can jump online at any time, no codes or
pin numbers to remember, and a series of simple screens prompt them to book their interviews
Staff
Teaching staff not required! That's right, the system will operate without any intervention from the
teaching staff. The may if they wish visit the site to block out interview slots where they will be
unavailable, or to check which parents have requested interviews
Setup
You guys are gonna love this! The only data to load is a teaching staff list, and if you are
already using another sobs.com.au application then the staff are already loaded. Lastly the system
needs to know what year levels each staff member teaches - you can enter this information on just
one screen!
The parent interface has been designed to operate from within an iframe - you can place this iframe
on a page in your school website so the entire application looks as though you wrote it. There are
brownie points in store here, the parents will love this system and you know they're gonna tell
the principal!
Controlled access
When adding an interview round you are also prompted to enter access times for staff and parents.
You might choose to enable staff to access the round a week prior to parents, allowing staff time to
mark their availability or unavailability for the various interview slots. Similarly you define the
date and time that parents are allowed to access the system and also the final date and time they can
record interviews. This allows you time to print the final interview list before the chaos
everybody starts arriving
Reports
Parents can request a list of their own interviews either via email or for printing. Staff have a
similar ability with regard to their own interviews. As the administrator you have access to print
two lists including all interviews in date/time order. The first list is grouped by Staff member, so
you can provide each staff member with their list of interviews. The second list is grouped by Parent
and is used to assist parents who have forgotten to bring their own interview list
