Dear Parents, Caregivers and Guardians,

Parent-Teacher interviews will be held from 2.00pm to 7.00pm on Tuesday 16 March 2021. Students will receive slips with login information today to bring home.  

The booking system will open to make bookings from 12pm on Tuesday 9 March 2021.

Interviews will be of 10-minute duration.

 For these interviews we are using an online booking system called Parent Teacher On-Line (PTO). It will save time for parents, staff and students!

Using this system, you will be able to book the interview times that suit you best from any internet enabled device. PTO also has its own free app for Apple and Android devices. A computer will be available in reception during school hours if you do not have internet access at home or elsewhere.

Please access the system as follows:
 

• Go to the school’s home page: lakelandshs.wa.edu.au

• Click on the following link: PTO

• Download the PTO app from the app store and use the 5 digit code at the end of the schools PTO service URL, which is 2ephr to register

• Click “Obtain PIN/Password” and enter your email address. Your PIN will be emailed to you. The email you receive will include a link that can be clicked on to log straight into PTO, bypassing the login screen.

OTHERWISE you can enter your surname and PIN, provided on the slip brought home by students.

Full instructions are provided to you after log in. Please note the following points:

• When you log on, the system displays only your own child/children. Bookings are made for individual parents/guardians, not for couples. Couples can however log on to the system simultaneously to coordinate bookings. If two parents/guardians wish to attend a single interview time slot, one parent/guardian should make the booking then both can attend.
   
• You will only see time slots that are available at the time you are using the system. As time slots are booked for teachers, those time slots are no longer displayed as available. PTO prevents double-booking of teachers or parents/guardians.
   
• When you have made all the bookings you require, you can download or email a report of your bookings in time order for printing. You can log in and change bookings any time up to 12.00pm on the day of interviews (Tuesday 16 March)
   
• If you see this symbol displayed along side the class name, it means this teacher recommends that you book an interview.
   
• Other parents may be making bookings at the same time that you are using the system. It is possible, though unlikely, that a time slot is displayed to you as available, but is then booked by another parent shortly afterwards. If you then attempt to book this time slot it will not be available and a message will be displayed to indicate this.
   
• If you encounter any problems using PTO please contact the school office by phone on 6172 2200, or by email to lakeland.shs@education.wa.edu.au
