The parent rota
Every family takes its turn looking after the children. Your dates come by email, and if one doesn't suit you, you swap it with one click.
Greek saying
Το ένα χέρι νίβει τ' άλλο και τα δυο το πρόσωπο.
One good turn deserves another.
How it works
Who takes a turn
Every child in the nursery and primary classes takes a turn, 3 to 5 times a year. Secondary classes are not on the rota. We count per child, not per family: two young children means two turns.
What you get
One email with all your family's dates and buttons to put them in your calendar. A reminder two days before every duty. On the day itself, arrive 10 minutes early.
If you can't come
Press "I can't come" on your own page. We email the other families of that same time slot straight away. The first family to answer closes it: nothing needs approving and you are not waiting. As long as nobody answers, the duty stays yours.
Helping costs you no extra duty
The family that answers takes your date and gives you one of its own dates back, in the same time slot. The two children simply swap dates.
Your own page
It opens only from the link in your email. No account, no password. There you see your duties, ask for a replacement and send the board a message. You never see other children's names: a request shows only the date, the time and the classes.
