What does PTM Booking & Permission Slips give the school?

PTM slots parents actually book

The school publishes meeting slots and each parent books their own time in the app, so PTM day runs on a schedule, not a scrum outside the classroom.

Permission slips signed digitally

For trips and activities, the school issues digital permission slips that parents sign in the app, no crumpled paper forms coming back (or not) in school bags.

Managed from the school portal

Slots and slips are set up and managed from the school’s web portal, so the office keeps oversight of the whole exercise in one place.

Fewer no-shows and lost forms

When parents book a specific time and sign from their phone, meetings and consents stop depending on paper making it home and back.

Is this a fit for your school?

Best suited for
  • Schools publishing meeting slots per class and letting parents pick one themselves.
  • Offices that want a dated, unalterable record of which parents approved a trip and which declined.
  • Schools that want parents reminded of a booked meeting without anyone making calls.
Not supported today
  • Protection against two parents booking the same slot at the same instant. Edutris checks a slot is free and then books it, without a lock, so a simultaneous second booking can overwrite the first.
  • More than one appointment per slot, a slot is one meeting, not a capacity you set.
  • Rescheduling a slot, or a record of who cancelled. Cancelling reopens the slot and clears the booking rather than keeping the history.
  • A signature on a permission slip. Edutris records which parent answered, what they answered and when. It does not capture a typed name, a drawn signature, or the device the answer came from.
