School Family Meeting Planner Calculator

Plan school family meetings by calculating total time required, number of available slots, families per day, and scheduling efficiency based on your meeting parameters.

Number of Families to Meet

Meeting Duration per Family (minutes)

Buffer Time Between Meetings (minutes)

Daily Start Time (hour, 24h format)

Daily End Time (hour, 24h format)

Total Break Time per Day (minutes)

Number of Teachers / Parallel Tracks

// --- Core Formulas ---

// Total available minutes per day (gross) // Available_Minutes_Gross = (End_Hour - Start_Hour) * 60 var grossMinutesPerDay = (endHour - startHour) * 60;

// Net available minutes per day after breaks // Available_Minutes_Net = Available_Minutes_Gross - Break_Duration var netMinutesPerDay = grossMinutesPerDay - breakDur;

if (netMinutesPerDay Break time exceeds or equals available daily hours. Please adjust.'; return; }

// Time slot per family (meeting + buffer) // Slot_Duration = Meeting_Duration + Buffer_Time var slotDuration = meetingDur + bufferTime;

// Slots per day per teacher // Slots_Per_Day_Per_Teacher = floor(Available_Minutes_Net / Slot_Duration) var slotsPerDayPerTeacher = Math.floor(netMinutesPerDay / slotDuration);

if (slotsPerDayPerTeacher No meeting slots fit within the daily schedule. Reduce meeting/buffer time or extend hours.'; return; }

// Total slots per day across all teachers // Total_Slots_Per_Day = Slots_Per_Day_Per_Teacher * Num_Teachers var totalSlotsPerDay = slotsPerDayPerTeacher * numTeachers;

// Days required to meet all families // Days_Required = ceil(Num_Families / Total_Slots_Per_Day) var daysRequired = Math.ceil(numFamilies / totalSlotsPerDay);

// Total meeting time (pure meeting, no buffer) // Total_Meeting_Time = Num_Families * Meeting_Duration (minutes) var totalMeetingTime = numFamilies * meetingDur;

// Total scheduled time including buffers // Total_Scheduled_Time = Num_Families * Slot_Duration (minutes) var totalScheduledTime = numFamilies * slotDuration;

// Scheduling efficiency // Efficiency (%) = (Total_Meeting_Time / Total_Scheduled_Time) * 100 var efficiency = (totalMeetingTime / totalScheduledTime) * 100;

// Families remaining on last day var familiesLastDay = numFamilies - (totalSlotsPerDay * (daysRequired - 1));

// Utilization of last day (%) var lastDayUtilization = (familiesLastDay / totalSlotsPerDay) * 100;

// Format helper function fmtTime(minutes) { var h = Math.floor(minutes / 60); var m = Math.round(minutes % 60); if (h === 0) return m + ' min'; return h + 'h ' + (m > 0 ? m + 'min' : ''); }

#### Formulas Used

Net Available Time / Day Net_Minutes = (End_Hour − Start_Hour) × 60 − Break_Duration

Time Slot per Family Slot_Duration = Meeting_Duration + Buffer_Time

Slots per Day per Teacher Slots_Per_Day_Per_Teacher = ⌊ Net_Minutes ÷ Slot_Duration ⌋

Total Slots per Day Total_Slots_Per_Day = Slots_Per_Day_Per_Teacher × Num_Teachers

Days Required Days_Required = ⌈ Num_Families ÷ Total_Slots_Per_Day ⌉

Scheduling Efficiency Efficiency (%) = (Num_Families × Meeting_Duration) ÷ (Num_Families × Slot_Duration) × 100 Simplifies to: Meeting_Duration ÷ Slot_Duration × 100
