PTM Connect is an app for schools. The school sets up a parent-teacher meeting, and the app gives every child a time with the class teacher. Parents book nothing: they open the app and see their time.
The app for Android and iPhone is in preparation. It is not in the app stores yet.
PTM is short for parent-teacher meeting. With PTM Connect, one runs in six steps.
The school office chooses the date, the time window, the minutes for each child and the classes that take part.
Who does it: School office
Every child gets one time with the class teacher. A teacher never has two children at the same time. Brothers and sisters never get the same time, and are placed one after the other where possible. The school sees a preview before anything is published.
Who does it: PTM Connect
When the school publishes the PTM, parents and teachers are told in the app. A parent sees the time for each child, with the class teacher, the date and the room if the school has set one.
Who it is for: Parents and teachers
The teacher has the children of the class in time order, and marks each meeting as completed or as a no-show.
Who does it: Teacher
The teacher writes feedback for each child in three parts: academic progress, strengths and areas to improve. The parent reads it in the app. After the meeting the parent can rate the conversation from 1 to 5 and add a comment.
Who does it: Teacher and parent
From then on nothing can be changed, and everything stays visible. A PTM that nobody closes is closed by the app on the date the school chose.
Who does it: School office
It is one app. What it shows depends on who signs in.
Sets up the school and the PTM.
Meet the parents of their own classes.
See their own children only.
It is not a school ERP. It does not handle fees, attendance, marks, homework, chat or video calls.
Nobody registers by themselves. The school enters its teachers and its students, and the parents' accounts come from the student list.
PTM Connect sends no OTP, SMS, email or WhatsApp message.
The school enters the details of its teachers, its students and their parents. PTM Connect keeps to what the meeting needs.
About a child: the name and the class, and the roll number and the admission number if the school enters them. About a parent: the mobile number, and the name if the school enters it. About a teacher: the name, the mobile number, and a staff ID if the school enters one.
The app also keeps what is written in it: the teacher's feedback, the mark completed or no-show, and the parent's rating and comment.
Date of birth, photo, home address, health data and government identifiers.
A parent sees only their own children. A teacher sees only their own classes, and never a parent's mobile number. A school reaches only its own records.
The teacher's feedback about a child is seen by that teacher, the child's parent and the school office. What a parent writes goes to the school office. The teacher sees only an overall average.
