Why Migrate from Google Forms?

Running parent-teacher conferences using Google Forms can be a daunting task. While Google Forms is a versatile tool, it falls short when it comes to specialized conference scheduling features. School administrators often struggle with time-consuming manual scheduling, a lack of real-time updates, and no built-in communication features.

The Impact on School Administrators

According to a National Association of School Psychologists survey, over 60% of school administrators report burnout due to administrative tasks.

"When you spend more time on scheduling than on student success, it's time for a change."

School Conference Go: A Better Alternative

Enter School Conference Go, a platform designed specifically for the unique needs of school conference scheduling. With features like easy event creation, no-login required for parents, and automated reminders, it streamlines the entire process. Let's explore how you can migrate from Google Forms to School Conference Go.

Step 1: Preparing for Migration

  • Assess Your Current Process: Identify what works and what doesn't in your current Google Forms setup.
  • Gather Data: Export your existing data from Google Forms for easy import into School Conference Go.

Step 2: Setting Up School Conference Go

  • Sign Up on School Conference Go.
  • Create Your Event: Customize time slots with our intuitive event creation tool.
  • Integrate with SIS: Seamlessly sync with systems like PowerSchool or Skyward.
