Parents Evenings

[steve]

I was doing a bit of browsing when I came across this site

Its an online system for booking appointments for parents evenings. Trouble is its American and expensive.

Anyone know of a UK equivelent?

Or anyone used something similar for teachers to manage their appointments?

Have been thinking about this for a while and the solution has come to me for schools usings SIMS.

Schools can create a tutor group based templates with aspects for appointment times in SIMS Assessment Manager for each tutor/teacher. Therefore each tutor/teacher makes individual appoinments with each student and they are centrally avaliable to both teaching staff [as each member of staff has access to AM/SIMS through their own laptop as we use Lesson Register for eReg; Profiles for Reports (1 year trial) and AM for termly tracking]. Changes by parents to appointments would be made by ringing the Admin Asst directly who has access to all templates on Assessment Manager.

Appointment cards/letters can easily be created using AM's individual report functionaility in reporting else SIMS.net can import AM info as well.

Haven't tried it but seems a good idea which popped into my head!
