Parent-Teacher Interviews Online – Thursday 23rd April, 3:30pm to 6:30pm
- Parent-Teacher interviews will be held for years 11 and 12 from 3:30pm to 6:30pm on Thursday 23th April.
- Interviews will be of 5 minutes duration.
For these interviews we are introducing a new online booking system called Booked (formerly known as PTO). Booked is an online system that will save time for parents, staff, and students, and will make the entire process of Parent Teacher Meetings easier for everyone.
Using Booked you will be able to book the interview time/s that suit you best using a computer, or with the Booked app from a mobile phone.
Bookings will be opened on Wednesday 8th April at 5pm.
To Access Booked simply:
- Go to the school’s Website Home - Dickson College
- Click the Booked icon.
- If you are using a mobile phone, download the Booked app from the app store and use the 5- digit code, kd9kd to register
- Once you are on our school’s Booked login page select the “Obtain PIN/Password” tab and enter your email address held by the school.
- Your login credentials as shown below will be emailed to you.
- The email you receive will include a link ‘ Yes-Log me in’ that can be clicked to log you straight into Booked, removing the need for you to login with your username and password.
From there simply follow the on-screen instructions.
- When you log on, the system only displays your own child/children. Bookings are made for
individual parents/carers, not for couples. Couples can however log on to the system
simultaneously to coordinate bookings. - If two parents/carers wish to attend a single interview time slot, one person should make the booking on their joint behalf, then both can attend.
- You will only see time slots that are still available at that moment in time and as time slots are booked for teachers, those time slots are no longer displayed as available. Booked prevents double-booking of teachers or parents/carers.
- When you have made all the bookings you require, you can download or email yourself a report of your bookings, and/or an iCal calendar file.
- You can log back into Booked and change your bookings any time up to 21st April at 10am.
- If you see an exclamation symbol displayed along-side the class-name it indicates this teacher recommends that you book an interview.
- Other parents may be making bookings at the same time as you are. It is possible, though unlikely, that a time slot is displayed to you as available but is then booked by another parent shortly afterwards. If you then attempt to book this time slot it will not be available, and a message will be displayed to indicate this has occurred.
If you encounter any problems using BOOKED please contact the school office on 02 6142 0140.
I am sure the system will be of benefit to students, parents and staff. Any feedback you may wish to provide will be most welcome.
