SignUpGenius Features to Help Organize the School Year

Back to school means another year full of events. Online sign ups are the perfect way to schedule classroom parties, plan teacher conferences, and coordinate school wide events such as the bookfair, fun run volunteers and more! It also means parents will be getting all those SignUpGenius invites (at least, that's what we've heard)!

Fortunately, we can help you single-handedly plan your sign ups for the year, limit the number of invites and reduce stress for your participants. Try a few of these simple tips for organizing all your school year sign ups.

Consolidate Sign Ups

First, it's best to consolidate all sign ups into one account. This way, you can streamline sign up invites and communication from a single location.

If you have multiple sign up creators, they can transfer their sign ups into a single account for the school. With our Multiple Admin feature, you can assign additional admins to the account and give them permissions to create and manage sign ups in the account.

Index Page

All active sign ups with current dates in your account appear on a single index page. If you have a number of upcoming events, you can create all your sign ups but refrain from sending out invites for each sign up. Instead, direct parents and volunteers to the index page link to locate the sign ups related to your school events. That way, they can sign up for several opportunities or events at one time.

To get the link to the index page, select the Tools icon in your account. Then, click Web Button Builder. This will allow you to access the link to the page that will display all of your active sign ups. Copy the link and share it with your parents and volunteers in a single invite, such as the school newsletter, or post the link on the school website for easy access.
