Handling breaks in your Parent Teacher Conference / Parents Evening

In order to accommodate the same breaks for all teaching staff, we would recommend setting up different events for the session times you wish to be bookable.

However, if you allow different breaks at the teachers' discretion these can be blocked from the teacher's schedule itself to prevent parents booking. Please click here to view an article explaining how to do this.

 

Example

The Teacher conference has the below schedule and we wish for the parents not to be able to book during break and lunchtimes.

08:30 - 10:30 Morning Sessions
10:30 - 10:50 Break
10:50 - 12:10 Morning Sessions
12:10 - 13:00 Lunch
13:00 - 15:00 Afternoon Sessions
15:00 - 15:20 Break
16:20 - 16:40 Afternoon Sessions

Each session is created as its own event. For example, you would create 08:30 -10:30 Morning Session, 10:50-12:10 Morning Session, and so on. You do not need to create events for the teachers breaks.

1. Select 'Create Events' on the left hand menu.

2. Click 'Add New' to add in an event. 

2. Toggle on the groups/teachers as required for the session and complete the details for each event.

3. Once all events have been published, parents will only see the sessions which are available to book for their children.
