Create a Parent-Teacher Conference: Video Walkthrough

This short video shows how to schedule parent-teacher conferences in SignUpSnap. You set your days and hours once, and every family books one meeting time from a link.

How to Create a Parent-Teacher Conference

  1. Select New Form, then Conference.

  2. Under Add Dates, select Pick Dates, choose each conference day and select Done.

  3. Set the Start Time and End Time, then the Slot Length for each meeting. Break adds time between meetings so you can catch up.

  4. Select Add. Each date shows its meeting times.

  5. For different hours on one day, select Edit Slots on that date. To skip one time, like a dinner break, select it to remove it.

  6. Under Conference Settings, type a Title and choose a Meeting Type: In Person, Video, Phone or Parent Chooses.

  7. Select Publish. Email the form to a class list from the Invite Lists card, or select Share and copy the link.

Video Meetings

Connect Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom in Settings, and each video booking gets its own meeting link. With Parent Chooses, each family picks in person, video or phone when they book.

What Parents See

Parents open the link, pick a date, choose an open time and fill in their name, email and child's name. Then they select Book Conference. They don't need an account, and once a time is booked, no other family can pick it.

See Who Booked

Open the conference from Forms. Each date has its own tab with every meeting time in order. Select a booking to see the family, the child and their email.

Select Send Group Email to write to every family at once. Print Day Sheet and Export CSV are in the menu.

For meeting types, video links and different hours on one day, read Create a Parent-Teacher Conference in the Help Center. The video is also on the SignUpSnap YouTube channel.
