4 TIPS TO START A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR

Posted by Ashley Kaufman







As we savor the last days of summer, the approach of back-to-school season can
bring a mix of emotions. There’s the excitement of reuniting with friends and
starting a new year of learning and fun. Still, it can be overwhelming as our
calendars fill up with activities for school, sports, clubs, church and more.
You can simplify the work of organizing events with online sign ups, so you can
focus on your students. 

Planning events with digital tools helps set educators and families up for a
successful year. With more organizing power, we can cruise into this busy season
with more time to be present for special moments. 


RECRUIT PARENT VOLUNTEERS 

Schools count on parents to help with everything from carpool and lunch duty to
classroom activities and fundraising. With online sign ups, you can share
volunteer requests with parents even if they’re at the pool or checking their
email between meetings. They can browse opportunities at their convenience and
chat with friends about coordinating volunteer shifts. It’s easy to promote your
sign up on social media or in school communication to maximize your reach, and
update opportunities in real time if needs change.  

Setting up a station at events like back-to-school open houses is a great way to
connect with parents and give them the scoop on volunteer opportunities. Having
a few enthusiastic volunteers at your table can help parents get excited about
getting involved. You can let them know where to access volunteer sign ups or
send them the link directly. 

Check out these tips to boost parent involvement at school as you start a new
year.  




STREAMLINE PLANNING FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL EVENTS 

Online sign ups help simplify organizing for back-to-school events. From teacher
trainings and PTA meetings to open houses and student orientations, sign ups
give you a simple way to track RSVP’s and update your group on the latest event
details. You can also create volunteer schedules to request support from parents
for back-to-school and the rest of the year. Pick from hundreds of
professionally designed themes for your sign up or create a custom theme with
your school’s branding. Automatic reminders are one of our most popular
features, it’s easy to set up an email to go out a few days before your event to
remind volunteers and participants. 

Advanced tools included with our premium plans offer more organizing power for
schools and larger groups. For example, the tabbing feature allows you to
display multiple sign ups together so people can view all your opportunities by
clicking one link. 

Sign ups are ideal to organize fall activities from the classroom to the sports
fields, giving families more time to cheer on their students. 




BOOST PARENT ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION 

Parents often want to help support their school and teachers, but they don't
always know how to help. Online sign ups are a great way to request class
support and simplify communication with parents. You can even send out a simple
newsletter to your parents. Just be sure to use these newsletter writing tips to
ensure they actually read it. You can create a classroom wish list in just a few
minutes, specifying items in each slot and setting the quantity that you would
like to receive. You can even update the sign up throughout the year and include
the link in class communication.  

Scheduling parent conferences is a breeze with online sign ups. Teachers can
create an appointment schedule in minutes and send it to parents to choose a
convenient time. Skip the manual appointment entry and automatically generate
appointment dates and times for your conferences. If you’re meeting with parents
virtually, we offer a Zoom integration or the ability to include a video
conference link. 

You can also create sign ups to request field trip chaperones, classroom
volunteers, mystery readers and more.  

Want to boost parent engagement? Start the year strong with these tips to
improve parent teacher communication. 




EMPOWER ROOM PARENTS TO COORDINATE PARTIES AND ACTIVITIES

As students return to school, new room parents will connect with their teacher
and class families to kick off the year. Online sign ups offer tools to help
room parents simplify organizing for class parties, service projects and more.
You can create a list of items for your event on a sign up and easily request
donations from parents. With the multiple administrators feature, you can give
your teacher or additional room parents access to your SignUpGenius account. You
have the ability to customize the levels of permission you assign, such as
creating and managing sign ups or monitoring how many of your slots are filled
for events. 

It doesn’t take much to coordinate a class party kids will love – just a few
treats and a few fun games or crafts. Try some of these fun minute to win
it games to turn up the laughs at your class parties. 



A new school year brings new adventures in learning, sports, arts, the community
and much more. With online sign ups, you can minimize the busy work of
organizing so you have more time to spend enjoying your events.

I can't tell you how excited I was when I stumbled upon your site! I serve on
the PTO at my sons school which has approximately 300+ staff and part of my
responsibility is to coordinate luncheons once a month. Your site will give me
the ability to connect with parents on a whole new level and not receive
numerous "meatball crock pot dishes". Your name says it all... this is truly
genius!!! Thank you soooo much!!
