Back to School 2020-2021

We're here to help you stay connected with your parents, teachers, and students - from wherever you are

The start of the 2020-2021 school year is looking very different from previous years. Whether your school opens remotely, moves back into the classroom, or starts with a hybrid model for learning, we are here to help support you in staying connected with your parents, students and teachers. Whether it be in-person, via the phone, or via a video meeting our scheduling system can be adapted to your needs.

We have added several options for your Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling. Conferences can be in-person, or you can use one of our integrations and have a Zoom or Google Meet meeting automatically created at the time of booking.

Our newly added integrations with Zoom and Google Meet will allow you to easily set up virtual meetings with your parent, student, and teacher communities. At the time of booking, a unique secure online meeting link is created. The link is then available in your dashboard, and in your outgoing confirmation and reminder emails.

Prefer to simply set up phone call conferences? With our scheduler you can collect your parent phone number for a return call at the scheduled conference time.

We can also help you with the online scheduling of events such as:

Student-Teacher Check-in calls

Back-to-School Registration

Classroom Meet and Greet

Welcome to Campus appointments

Dorm move-in appointments

Laptop/Ipad Checkout appointments

IT Support appointments

HEAR WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

PickATime is simply by far the easiest, most affordable, and always reliable system for scheduling events. We use the system for parents' conferences. Our school sends a set-up file to pickAtime, they send us a link, which in turn we publish in our Parents portal. Once published, parents quickly log in and we have 85% of the schedule completed in 10 minutes. No hassles, no problems.

Shore Country Day School will celebrate 10 years of pickAtime next year! We first implemented pickAtime for Shore's Parent Conferences in the Winter of 2007. At that time, online signups were a big change for our school. No longer did we post sign-up sheets requiring parents to come into school and compete elbow to elbow for their desired slots! Now, when we open each conference event, parents access the authenticated pickAtime link through our website and we typically see almost half our conference slots fill up within the first hour...all behind the scenes! Parents love being able to schedule appointments from work or when on the go using their smartphone or tablet. Managing optional conference childcare sign-ups and changes to appointments provide even more conveniences for parents as well as streamlining the administrative processes for our staff. Our faculty also rely on easy access to their schedules as they plan for conferences. We have always found pickAtime Support to be exceptionally responsive for any set-up questions or issues. Once a year, when we host a whole school event that requires volunteer sign-up, there is never a charge for this service which we truly appreciate.

We LOVE pick-a-time!

Being a small school requires our teachers to wear many hats, and do varied tasks which is why we were thrilled to discover how convenient and easy to use Pick-a-Time really is. The service has simplified our onerous scheduling challenges and put our families in the driver's seat, allowing them the freedom to choose times that work best for them. Lastly, it is wonderfully cost effective - saving us time and frustration.
