Please read this information below in full so that you know what to do and expect for your parent teacher appointment in March.<\/p>\n
You must sign up for your appointment by the end of the day on Friday 11th March 2022.<\/strong> It will not be possible to schedule any appointments after that date. We will reschedule any appointments which don’t go ahead due to technical difficulties but we won’t reschedule if the appointment is missed or not booked in time. The system does not seem to cope well with appointments which are added after the booking end date and booking by then gives the teachers time to prepare for the interviews.<\/p>\n We do want to support every family to be able to speak to their child\u2019s teacher so please contact me at lucy.jess@fife.gov.uk<\/a> if you need help or an alternative arrangement. You should contact me by 11th March 2022.<\/p>\n You can use the comments space when you book to let the teacher know if there is anything you particularly want to speak about. Your child will bring their jotters home on Friday 11th to show you and you should return them to school on Monday 14th.<\/p>\n The appointments will be held on these dates and times:<\/p>\n Tuesday 15th March 3.30-5.30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday 17th March 3.30-5.30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n Wednesday 23rd March 3.30-5.30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n At this point, we can\u2019t offer meetings later than 5.30pm due to the need to ensure the building is cleaned after staff leave. Staff need to be in the building to conduct the meetings so that technical support is on hand and so that you can contact us if you experience difficulty accessing the call.<\/p>\n We will be using the The Parents Evening Booking System as our main platform for these virtual meetings. This system automatically pulls your details through via Groupcall to set the meetings up, minimising admin workload.<\/p>\n Previously you could only long into the call via one device but this is no longer the case. You can now click to choose to invite another parent to access the call. you can do this at the time of booking or afterwards by logging back in, finding your booking and choosing to modify it.<\/strong><\/p>\n The bulk of our families will use\u00a0Parents Evening Booking system for their meeting but we recognise that some families may need a different arrangement so that all parents are involved and\u00a0we can help \u2013 either by using Teams or by setting up two meetings. We can also use Teams where a parent needs to meet with two teachers for any reason. If the technology doesn\u2019t work for you, we can use phone call for your conversation with your child\u2019s teacher. If you need an alternative arrangement, please contact me at\u00a0lucy.jess@fife.gov.uk<\/a> at the start of next week (beginning 7th March 2022). I would ask parents to be mindful that there is an additional workload for admin staff and teachers in setting up an alternative arrangement and only request one where strictly necessary but we are very pleased to help where it is needed.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t make any use of Zoom as it is not GDRP compliant.<\/p>\n Parents Evening Booking System (PEBS) will be open for you to sign up for your child\u2019s appointment from 9am on Thursday 3rd March and will close at 3pm on Friday 11th March.

You will only get your full 10 minutes if you join the meeting room before the start time. If you join the meeting late, it will still end as scheduled. We will reschedule a meeting if it is cut short due to delays at our end or if the parent has called us in advance to say they are experiencing difficulties.\u00a0 We won\u2019t reschedule a meeting if it is cut short due to the parent joining it late (this is to protect teacher workload) so please get set up in good time for the meeting.<\/p>\n A more detailed guide is available here:\u00a0Parents-Evening-Booking-System-Guidance<\/a><\/p>\n Internet Browser Compatibility:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n You must use one of the below devices and internet browser combinations for the video meeting technology to work:<\/p>\n Troubleshooting Tips<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Please read this information below in full so that you know what to do and expect for your parent teacher appointment in March.
