Parent Teacher Interview Booking Window Dates
For the upcoming session, Handsworth will be using an online appointment booking system to manage Parent Teacher Interviews. This online system allows parents the most flexibility to select their own interviews and book them online. Please note that is a “first come, first serve” system and interview slots will fill up very quickly. If you are interested in booking interviews, take note of the booking opening times and act fast!
Below are the steps you will need to follow in order to book appointments for your child. We suggest you complete the first five steps now, so that when the booking window opens, you are immediately ready to book appointments. Please note the User Profile has to be completed once per school year.
- You may also access the appointment system by following the link on the Handsworth Secondary website
- Select “Click Here to Register” at the very bottom of the Login Box on the right
- Fill in your information and select your User ID and Password
3. Once you have created a user profile for your family, this will register you and your child. You can now add your child/children using “Manage Students”. If you have more than one child attending Handsworth, click on the “Insert new” button.
4. You will now be able to log in and out using your User ID and Password.
5. You are now ready to make your appointments as soon as the booking window opens. To prepare to book appointments, make sure you know the names of the teachers you wish to see, as well as the subject they teach your child. You may also wish to consider the priority of those teachers whom you wish to see.
*** The above steps 1-5 can be done ahead of time.
6. Once each booking window opens, you may create appointments by signing into your account and clicking on the “Manage Students” button. Click on the parent teacher interview button listed to the right of your child’s name. You may make up to three bookings per child in the first window.
7. To book an appointment, scroll through the staff list and click on each name. You can do this individually or you may hold the “control” key to click multiple staff members. Each teacher schedule will appear and you can select the time you wish to book. Repeat the same instructions if you have a second child.
8. If you are unable to book a teacher that you wished to see during the second booking window or are unable to attend Parent-Teacher Interviews on Wednesday October 23, you may request a “call back” for your child/children and the teacher will contact you. The “call back” button is located at the top of the teacher schedule. The term “Call back” is the online name – for our use this may mean any form of communication (email often works best). Keep in mind teachers of academic classes, in particular, experience a high volume of requests, so your patience is appreciated.
9. When your appointments are booked, the screen will display a list of all appointments for each student.
10. When you are done scheduling and viewing appointments, simply “logout” of the session, this will automatically save your bookings. An email reminder will be sent one day prior to the interviews.
