You can move or swap class codes from one teacher to another easily by clicking the ‘Move or Swap Class Codes’ button on the ‘Edit the Teachers’ page (see Dashboard or Evening pages for this).
The video below explains how this works.
You can now take payments for events, clubs and trips through Parents Booking’s new integration with Stripe.
The video below demonstrates how this all looks and works, and by going to your school’s Admin Area > Set Up School page, and expanding the Payment Gateway Settings section you can download the latest version of the Stripe integration instructions.
We have recently added a ‘shareable link’ to Parents Booking, for video meetings, meaning that parents can copy and share a link (website address) which will allow other parents, carers or even students to join the video meetings that the original parent has booked.
This ‘shareable link’ will be included in parents’ booking confirmation emails by default as well, making it easy to just share the email, which includes appointment times and the ‘sharable link’, with anyone the parent wants to join their appointments.
The demonstration video below shows how this all works.
Yes, you can.
Parents Booking customers can have 2+ teachers in their video meetings, and one of those ‘teachers’ can be a translator if you like.
Steps:
1. Take all your parents’ appointments like normal
2. After the boking deadline has passed and you know who the translator(s) will be, you can create them an account on the Teachers page. They don’t need any students added to them, they just need a name, subject/department (“Translator”) and email address, which they use to login.
3. Then, on the Manage Bookings page, you can go to each class teacher and tick the bookings you want the Translator to have, and use a new blue button at the top of the page called “Share Bookings” to share them with the translator. This adds the Translator to the parents’ evening and when they login they can join the booking the parent made with the teacher.

Schools can share bookings that have previously been made with one teacher (let’s call them teacher A) with a second teacher (Teacher B). This is really simple to do, and the video and PDF below are both good instructions/resources explaining the process.
Steps:
1. You can share bookings that have already been made with a 2nd teacher at any time, but consider that it might be best to do this after the booking deadline has passed, so you only have to do it once and can do it for all bookings that require sharing.
2. Make sure the teacher you want to share the bookings with has an account on the Teachers page. If they don’t, add them. They don’t need any students added to them, but they do need a name, subject, department and e-mail address (so you can send them a username/password to login with).
3. Go to the Manage Bookings page, fine Teacher A, tick the bookings you want to share, then at the top of the page click Share Booking and share them with Teacher B. If Teacher B was not in the evening, they’ll be added.

Explainer Video:
Schools who prefer to use their own video meeting rooms, perhaps with Zoom or similar, can show the URL for the teachers ‘video rooms’ on parents’ appointment schedules, making it easy for parents to join their video appointments.
School administrators simply need to add URLs for these ‘video rooms’ to the admin area (of Parents Booking) via the Teachers page, and these URLs will then be shown to parents as part of their print, e-mail or web-page confirmation when parents’ evenings are created (or by pressing ‘Update’ on the Dashboard > Options > Edit the Teachers page, to import these ‘video room’ URLs into previously set up parents’ evenings).
One of the new features in Parents Booking’s most recent release allows administrators to add breaks and extend appointments for groups of teachers, at once, in just a few clicks. This saves the administrator from having to make these changes teacher-by-teacher, and it’s something both simple and effective that we’ve found schools have been looking for recently.
Once you have a parents’ evening set up, find this functionality at: Dashboard > Options > Print, Email, Block Out and Extend Teachers > Mass Block/Extend.
New for 2021, we will require schools who use RM Integris to go to their ‘Datashare’ and update the permissions that Parents Booking requires. This blog post contains the steps, with pictures.
One of the most requested features we’ve had over the last few months has been the ability for parents to join video meetings from different devices/locations. Read more and watch a demo video…
With hundreds of schools, and tens of thousands of parents using Parents Booking for their parent-teacher meetings, and with these being video meetings very often, we’ve been adding new features to help parents and teachers test their “device” (laptop/PC, Mac, iPad/iPhone, Android), in the simplest way possible, before having their video meetings. The below video shows you how…
