An Easy Way to Schedule Parent-Teacher Conferences Using Google Sheets

How long does it take you to schedule parent-teacher conferences?

Scheduling my first parent-teacher conferences were such a hassle. I sent home a note with my open times. Families selected their top 3 times and then sent the note back. Once I got the notes back, I considered their top 3 times and scheduled everyone... by hand. THEN I had to communicate with the families AGAIN to let them know when their conference was scheduled. 

It was a lot. 

If you’ve been doing conferences like this OR maybe you’re just unhappy with the scheduler you’ve been using … today I’m going to share a straightforward way you can schedule your conferences using a google sheets document.
