“We’re saving 10 hours, per teacher, per Parent-Teacher Conference — and attendance is up 50%!”

The booking process between teachers and parents is much more clear. This is really important for us because we really value providing a great experience.

Because it’s so much easier for parents to book meetings with every teacher, parents can now get a full picture of how their child is developing and that’s priceless.

“We’ve doubled our attendance rates and number of bookings, reduced the time we spent on scheduling by like 12 hours per person, per week, and everything is completely customized with our school’s colors and logo.”

It used to be a very manual back-and-forth process and now we’re empowering students by giving them the autonomy to go in and book themselves.
As soon as someone book, they have the option to select Zoom or in-person. So it's totally seamless. It automatically appears on the Google calendar. Everything is great.

Testimonials

Schools ❤️ Koalendar

See how K–12 schools reduce no-shows, simplify parent–teacher conferences, and keep classes on track with Koalendar.

“It's an easy way for my students to sign up for virtual tutoring. After sharing Koalendar with my teammates, they use it for tutoring as well because of how well it worked. We even implemented it to have parents sign up for virtual conferences on Parent Teacher Conference Night. It worked extremely well.”

Shenna Sutton

K–12 Middle School Teacher
Martin K12 NC

“I trialled the free version of Koalendar for staff to book meeting with the Head teacher and found it really simple and easy to integrate into our Google suite of apps. We as a school wanted more flexibility to book shorter appointments for virtual parents' evenings, so I purchased and upgraded version for staff. The customer service through out this process was exceptional. I was able to make enquiries on the chat facility of the website that were followed up with email communication that were clear, prompt and helpful. Once staff opened their Koalendar accounts, the customer service team upgraded the account automatically and I was able to pay for all subscription on one invoice. Great value, great service, great product.”

Emily B.
Head Teacher

“I use Koalendar to schedule tutoring session with students. I was able to get it set up and sent to students in about 5 minutes. Support was extremely friendly and is a real person rather than a robot or outsourced.”

Lucas M.
Tutor

“I use this app to schedule my office hours for distance learning. It is so much easier to have a streamlined system for appointments than simply sitting on zoom and hoping someone shows up. I have multiple classes that I am in charge of, so on this app, I am able to have students state which class and projects they need to talk about. I love how I can set my availability at the beginning of the week, but then as I make various appointments on google calendar, the app recognizes those and does not double-book me.”

Courtney D.
Lecturer at Higher Education

“I like how I can personalize my sign up times for student and parent appointments both for distance learning and conferences. It is easy for students and parents to navigate and create an appointment during available times. It is nice to allow others to sign up for the appointment they feel is best for them rather than going back and forth trying to find an available time.”

Kaylee W.
FACS Teacher

“I absolutely am very fond of the ease of setting up the appointments, and I have had no complaints with students or parents on how easy it is for them to access and use the appointment page.”

Kaleena C.
HS College Counselor

“It's been a great tool to use and eliminates the back and forth of seeing when I'm available for meetings. When someone books, I get a notice, and it automatically populates on my calendar and the guest gets a notice for the meeting as well. This add on is so user friendly. Even my parents who are not used to technology are able to schedule their own appointments with me. I have shared it with many on my staff and they allow their students to schedule appointments for face to face time during the Pandemic. It's been a lifesaver. Literally.”
