PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. – The end of summer signals the start of the new school year for students and teachers at elementary, middle and high schools throughout the nation. Instructors, administrators and staff will be busy planning their agendas for the year, including scheduling their parent-teacher conferences. For those that utilize Appointment-
Plus online scheduling calendars, this oftentimes tedious and time-consuming task will be a snap!
The leading online scheduler calendar software provider since 2001, Appointment-
Plus (http://www.appointment-
plus.com/index.php)
is the service of choice among faculty, administrators and staff at countless educational institutions and facilities coast to coast. Its feature-rich design allows these individuals to complete automate and streamline their parent-teacher scheduling by allowing parents to schedule their own their own sessions online and when it’s most convenient for them, not just during normal school hours.
In addition to giving parents the option of booking these appointments 24 hours a day, the self-scheduling feature frees up valuable staff time that would otherwise be used to answer phones and manually book these appointments in paper schedule books. Teachers and administrators can add an Appointment-
Plus-provider “Book Now” button on their school or personal Web page to make it easy for parents to schedule online.
In addition to self-scheduling, Appointment-
Plus online scheduler calendar offers other beneficial features such as automated e-mail and text message reminders sent out by the system prior to scheduler parent-teacher session time; robust record-keeping and reporting; and e-marketing capabilities through iContact that are a great way to keep parents current on pertinent information.
“Scheduling parent-teacher conferences can be a tedious and burdensome task, especially for teachers, faculty and staff that already have full, busy schedules,” says Bob La Loggia, CEO of Appointment-
Plus. “Our online scheduling system makes it easy for these professionals to simplify the process, as well as give parents an easy way to book their sessions.”
