A unified hub for school community engagement
iSAMS Bookings brings parent evenings, events, clubs, and extracurricular care into one seamless experience – right inside iSAMS. Parents book through the Parent Portal, staff manage from the dashboard. No extra logins, no fragmented tools.
Parent evenings
iSAMS Bookings streamlines the entire parents’ evening process while giving you prior notice of discussion points. The platform can be configured in minutes, with all timetable data seamlessly integrated from iSAMS. Teachers have the flexibility to arrange their own separate meetings and invite selected parents at times that suit them – ideal for office hours or ad-hoc requirements.
Video Conferencing
Video meetings for parents’ evenings offer flexibility to host meetings remotely or alongside traditional in-person appointments. Evenings run exactly to schedule with a countdown timer, eliminating over-running or missed slots. Schools report increased parental attendance by removing barriers such as distance, work commitments, and transport access.
