When your school opens parent-teacher conferences, you pick a meeting time with your child's teacher in Bloomily. You can change or cancel it yourself while booking is open.

Find your school's conferences

• Website: on your Home page, open Conferences.

• iPhone app: open More, then Conferences.

• Android app: open Settings, then Conferences under More Features. It opens the same page as the website.

You'll see the conferences your school has published for your child's class. Open one with View times and bookings.

If you don't see any conferences, your school may not have published one yet, or it may not include your child's class.

Watch how it works. This walkthrough shows the iPhone app.

The recording uses one center’s example data and settings. Names, dates and times are examples. Follow the written steps where the labels differ.

Book a time

You only see times for your own child's teachers, earliest first.

On the website or Android app

1. Under Conference times, find a time that works and press Choose this time.

2. Under Child, pick your child.

3. Add anything you'd like the teacher to know in Notes (optional).

4. Press Book conference.

You'll see Your conference is booked. and the time moves up to Your bookings.

On the iPhone app

1. Tap an open time.

2. Under Select Child, pick your child, and add any Notes (Optional).

3. Tap Book.

Your time shows under My Bookings.

Before booking opens, and after it closes

• If booking hasn't started yet, the conference says Booking opens and the date. You can look at it, but you can't book until then.

• Once booking closes, you can't book, change or cancel a time in the app. Contact your school if you need a change.

Change or cancel your time

You can change or cancel while booking is open.

On the website or Android app

1. Find your time under Your bookings.

2. To pick a different time, press Reschedule, choose a New time, then press Confirm reschedule.

3. To cancel, press Cancel booking, then Confirm cancellation. Press Keep booking if you change your mind. On some school pages, Cancel booking is in the menu (⋮) beside your time.

When you reschedule on the website, your old time is let go first. If someone takes the new time at the same moment, choose another open time.

On the iPhone app

1. Tap your booked time. Your Booking opens.

2. To pick a different time, tap Reschedule, choose a new time, and tap Move Booking. Your current time stays booked until the new time is yours.

3. To cancel, tap Cancel Booking, then Yes, Cancel Booking. Tap Keep Booking if you change your mind.

Reschedule needs the latest Bloomily app. If you don't see it, update the app from the App Store.

Good to know

• Notices from your school. If your school turns them on, you’ll get a notice in the Bloomily app when booking opens, and another the day before your time. Keep notifications on for the Bloomily app to see them.

• No confirmation email. Bloomily doesn’t email or text you about conferences. Your time is saved as soon as you see it in your bookings.

• Can't see Choose this time? Only a parent or guardian with full access to your child can book. Ask your school if you think your access should change.

• Two children? Book a time for each child. Each child is offered their own teachers' times.
