Parents with More Than One Student
If you have more than one student at the school, the teacher appointment calendars will have an additional feature displayed when the second (or third, etc.) student bookings are made. If a sibling has an appointment booked, the student’s name will be displayed for you, thus making it easier to book adjacent appointments.

Once the appointments are booked the screen will display the list of appointments for the student. If you click on the “Return to Home Page” button, you will return to the home page with your students and appointments listed.

Using TEAMS
If you are having your meeting on Teams, your teacher will email with the meeting link prior to October 19th and 20th. You can use your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop for the meeting. If you are using a phone or tablet, you will need to download the app. On the day of the virtual interview, you will use the link that was embedded into the original email that reads “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting”.
