Google Calendar

Create Appointment Timeslots!


You can set up a block of appointments on your calendar that other people (ie. parents for conferences or students for extra help) can reserve. You create a block of time of when you are available and they can book time slots within that block. These appointments can include a Google Meet link to host the conference, too.


Watch the video below on how to create a block of appointments and how you can share out to parents or students to reserve time to speak with you.
