What's Inside?
All the tools your school needs, in one place, with an intuitive interface
Meeting Schedule Management
Teachers can manage their own meeting schedules independently. They can set opening and closing hours, add or remove meetings, set breaks, and assign parents to meetings based on their availability. Teachers can also color-code meetings for specific subjects.
Sending Invitations
Teachers can send invitations to relevant parents, letting them know they are particularly interested in meeting with them for a specific reason, and giving parents the option to choose a time based on their availability.
Meeting Coordination
Based on the school's official student records, parents can select a date and time while accounting for potential conflicts. Parents can also view their children's grades during the scheduling process to help decide which teachers to meet with.
Receiving Alerts
The system sends parents alerts as their meetings approach — 30 minutes and 5 minutes before the scheduled time. These notifications help parents prepare and arrive on time, preventing delays.
Real-Time Meeting Tracking
The system provides parents with real-time tracking of meeting progress. This information lets parents know when their meeting is expected to start, saving valuable time by avoiding unnecessary waiting.
User-Friendly Interface
The system features a simple, user-friendly interface specifically designed for parents and teachers. It includes built-in explanations that allow any user to navigate the system quickly and easily. Additionally, the system offers live chat support and tutorial videos to help users with any question or issue.
Access for Everyone
The system is available anytime, anywhere — through a dedicated smartphone app or via a web browser. This accessibility ensures that every user, regardless of their device or location, can use the system easily and efficiently.
Online or In-Person Conferences
The system supports online conferences via Zoom, face-to-face meetings, or a hybrid format where each parent chooses whether to attend via Zoom or in person.
Proven Experience
Pgishonim is a proven solution with over 6 years of experience serving schools across the country.
Getting Started Is Simple
A quick and easy onboarding process — here's what to expect
Setting Up the Conference
The system administrator defines the conference date and participating classes. The system automatically pulls school data from the school's existing student roster.
Setting Up Meeting Schedules
Teachers set their arrival times for the conference and the duration of each meeting. Changes to the meeting schedule are allowed after initial setup.
Sending Invitations
Teachers send invitations to specific parents they particularly want to meet with.
Scheduling Meetings
Parents schedule meetings with relevant teachers based on the school's official student records. After scheduling, meetings can be added to their personal calendar.
Receiving Alerts
Parents receive a first reminder 30 minutes before the meeting and a second reminder 5 minutes before. These alerts help prevent delays in teachers' meeting schedules.
Conducting the Meeting
During the conference, parents track the progress of their meetings to save valuable waiting time. They then meet with the teachers who invited them, via Zoom or in person.

What Our Clients Say
Pgishonim is an efficient and cost-effective parent-teacher conference management system. The system is easy to use and allows school administrators to manage conferences conveniently. Administrators can set up conferences, manage meetings with parents, and receive progress reports. The system also supports Zoom conferences, which was especially important during COVID. I highly recommend Pgishonim to any school looking for an efficient conference management solution.
We held our first remote parent-teacher conference yesterday using the Pgishonim app. Over 30 teachers were asked to meet with parents of 250 students, with each parent meeting about 5 different teachers. Despite concerns about parents adapting to a new app, the conference was a tremendous success! The app worked excellently in most cases and parents entered meetings one after another. In our feedback survey, 70% of parents rated the app experience as very convenient. One teacher wrote: "From 2:00 PM until now (7:00 PM) I've been meeting parents... I've never met 25 parents at any conference before!" We thank the Pgishonim team for their full support with every issue — all problems were resolved to our satisfaction.
At the high school yeshiva in Modi'in, we've been using the app to manage parent-teacher conferences for five years. The app provides an efficient and simple solution for all parties involved — parents, teachers, and administrative staff. Parents appreciate the easy and efficient meeting scheduling without waiting in line. Teachers value the clear overview of upcoming meetings. The administrative team benefits from tracking conference progress and maintaining process control. The app has been running for over five years with excellent service and real-time support.
Pgishonim is an exceptional parent-teacher conference management system. It's easy to use and allows school administrators to manage conferences efficiently and cost-effectively. Administrators can set up a conference with one click and view real-time progress reports. The system also imports data from the school's existing student records automatically, which greatly simplifies the administrator's work. I highly recommend Pgishonim to any school looking for an efficient conference management solution.
