Already included
- Title “Parent-teacher meetings”
How parents book
Each slot can be booked exactly once. Other parents only see “taken” – you see the names.
Example “Parent-teacher conferences, grade 3”: 2 of 8 slots booked; only whoever manages the slots sees the names.
Only you see the booking plan, with names: the Krüger family has Monday at 2:30 PM, the Aydin family Wednesday at 2:00 PM, and the other six slots are free. Everyone else sees only “taken” for these two slots.
Tips for parent-teacher conferences
- Plan breaksSet a break between conferences when you create them, such as five minutes. Remove single slots when you have something else on.
- Ask for the child’s nameAsk a question at booking, such as the child’s name. The answer appears with the booking in your schedule.
- One page per teacherIf several teachers hold conferences, each one creates their own slots. That way every family books with the teacher they want to see.
- Send the poster homeFor parents without a messenger app, print the poster with the QR code and send it home as a note.
Frequently asked questions
More questions are answered in the Help.
Can parents see who has which slot?
Not by default: booked slots only say “taken”, and you see the names in the manage view. If you like, you can make them visible to everyone.
Can a family change their booking?
Yes. On the same device they change or cancel their booking themselves, without asking you. The old slot is open again right away.
What happens if two people want the same slot?
Only one person gets the slot. The other sees that it has been taken in the meantime and picks another.
Do parents need an email address?
No. They open the link, enter their name and book. Polls doesn’t ask for an email address and doesn’t send emails to parents.
What does a booking page cost?
Nothing. Polls is free and shows no ads – for you and for everyone taking part.
