Back-to-school season is upon us (where did the summer go?!), and it’s a bustling time for schools, teachers, and families alike. As the school year kicks off, efficient planning is crucial to make sure your events run smoothly.
SignUpGenius can make back-to-school planning a breeze. Here are five standout features that can simplify your school-related activities and help various school groups—including PTAs, teachers, and families—manage their tasks more effectively.
With a SignUpGenius premium plan, you get access to even more customization options, such as choosing from more pre-designed themes, building your own sign up layout, and adding a custom color scheme to your sign up
Whether you’re planning a back-to-school night, sports event, or a fundraising gala, you’ll be able to find or create a sign up design that suits your needs.
You can customize levels of access for different roles, giving people the ability to create and manage sign ups, communicate with participants or just view activity. This helps to balance responsibilities and ensure that every detail is covered.
Use the multi-admin feature to coordinate PTA events with other committee members, share classroom responsibilities with co-teachers or room parents, update school volunteer schedules and much more.
You can collect payments right within your sign ups, allowing participants to sign up and pay all in one place. Your school community will love how easy it is to pay by credit card and get an emailed receipt rather than paying with cash or checks.
Keeping track of payments and donations can be a complex, time-consuming task. But collecting money with SignUpGenius makes your life easier. Money gets automatically deposited into your bank account, and you can pull transaction reports for your sign ups anytime.
You can set up automated reminders to be sent to your group from 24 hours to multiple days before their scheduled event. Reminders are automatically sent to participants’ email addresses, but they can opt-in to receive reminders via text. Whether it’s a reminder for a volunteer shift, a meeting, or any other event, SignUpGenius puts participants’ sign up details right in their inbox or text messages, so you can rest assured knowing?they’ll be in attendance.
By automating reminders, organizers can significantly reduce the likelihood of no-shows and last-minute cancellations. This feature helps keep everyone informed and on top of their commitments without additional effort on your part.
You can group multiple sign ups under one link and only send one email invite. This allows participants to easily navigate between tabs to find the right sign up.
You can use the tabbing feature to display the latest sign ups for your parent-teacher organization, for grade levels, for sports teams and more.
