Getting Started

Your school data is automatically synced from Messenger to Parents’ Evening Booking System. To ensure that Parents’ Evening Booking System works successfully for the school and parents, it is important to maintain contact information in your MIS. Group data will also be pulled across, but this does not include any Saved Groups that you have created in Messenger.

If your Messenger account has access to PEBS, you will see the Parents’ Evening tile from your Tiles (Homepage). If you don’t see this from your Messenger, contact your school administrator to check your permissions.
