Planning a class celebration is one of the best parts of being a school room parent. Get the party started with this nifty guide.
SignUpGenius has all the resources and tools you'll need to make your event a success. Here's how you can use online sign ups to simplify your celebrations this school year.
Getting Started: What Should People Sign Up For?
- Volunteering: Are you planning several stations for class games? Do you need parent helpers to serve food? An online sign up is a simple way to let volunteers sign up for the tasks they'll enjoy.
- Donations: Those ice cream sundaes won't make themselves! Even if some parents can't make the class party, most are happy to send in supplies to make it a success.

Communicating the Details
Parents are busy, so the clearer your communication is, the better. Here are some of our favorite tools to get the word out.
- Send via SignUpGenius Messaging: You can quickly email parents directly from SignUpGenius' system by setting up a group. You can share as soon as you create the sign up or come back later to the "Messages" tab under your Sign Ups account page.
- Post on the Web/Social Media: If your teacher maintains a Facebook or Weebly page, you can post your sign up's unique link directly to the page with information about your event.
Try These Sign Up Tools
- Create Custom Designs: We have hundreds of free sign up themes for you to choose from, but if you'd like to take things up a notch, you can create your own custom theme or choose from hundreds of premium multi-photo design layouts.
- Add Start/Stop Dates: Got a popular sign up? Make sure it opens to everyone at the same time — or closes to prevent last-minute swapping — by introducing start and stop dates.
- Ask Custom Questions: Gather extra information such as T-shirt sizes or food preferences by asking custom questions to sign up participants. Only the event organizer will see the responses!
- Set Quantity Limits: Make sure sign up opportunities are evenly distributed by adding quantity limits. That way one parent won't sign up to bring all 10 flavors of popcorn you requested!
