SignUp's Campus Plan for K-12 Schools

Everything K-12 Schools Need to Coordinate Volunteers, Events, and More in One Place

Last Updated July 13, 2026

We are privileged and excited to support your Good work – so we offer a special Campus Plan for K-12 Schools and School-Parent groups! SignUp's Campus Plan is built for K-12 schools that want a smarter, more connected way to manage volunteers, events, and parent participation across an entire campus. From individual classrooms to school-wide programs, it keeps everyone organized and in the loop without the back-and-forth.

What Is the Campus Plan?

Anyone can use SignUp's Basic service for free, and it is a great starting point for individual teachers and room parents. The Campus Plan takes things further by giving schools a more centralized approach: shared Group Pages, text reminders for US and Canada, service hour tracking across multiple SignUps, and tools that make it easy for the whole campus to work together.

The result? Teachers, parents, and staff save hundreds of hours on coordination. And because SignUp sends automated reminders, parent participation in classrooms, programs, and fundraisers goes up without anyone having to chase people down.

Key Features of the Campus Plan

Here is what makes the Campus Plan especially powerful for K-12 schools and school-parent groups:

• School and Class Group Pages - Post all your SignUps to a shared Group Page so parents can see every volunteer opportunity in one spot. No more hunting through emails or missing sign-up links.
• Text Reminders - Send automated text reminders to volunteers (US and Canada). Higher open rates than email means fewer no-shows and more reliable participation.
• Service Hour Tracking - Track volunteer hours across multiple SignUps from one dashboard. Perfect for PTOs, NHS chapters, and programs that need accurate service hour records.
• No Account Required for Participants - Parents and volunteers sign up without creating a login. Fewer barriers means more people actually follow through.
• Cost-Effective for the Whole Campus - One plan covers multiple teachers, room parents, and staff. Everyone gets access without everyone needing a separate subscription.
• Reusable SignUps - Set up a SignUp once and reuse it year after year. Annual events like book fairs, field trips, and conferences are easy to refresh without starting over.

What Can SignUp Help You Organize at Your School?

The Campus Plan covers nearly every activity that requires coordinating people, schedules, or supplies across a school. Here is a look at the kinds of events and programs schools use it for:

What Schools and PTOs Are Saying

 Our PTO has used SignUp.com for over two years and we LOVE that it has streamlined our volunteer communications and that more parents than ever are getting involved! We appreciate the School Group Page so parents can easily see all of the activities that are available for volunteering -- we have SignUp calendars for Media Center, Cafeteria, Book Fairs, Fundraisers, and other special events.  

- Brynn T., VP Education Management, Dallas, TX

 We used SignUp for organizing over 200 high school athletic events ticket takers and concessions stand volunteers for the entire year and it worked swimmingly. Plus, having automated reminders has been the best blessing! LOVED IT!  

- Heather F., AD Assistant, Fairbury, NE

 I have been using SignUp.com for years, and absolutely love it. It's fast and easy, and helps keep my sign ups organized. SignUp is so easy to set up, send out, and use over and over and over. My students' parents really liked it, too. They liked the fact they didn't have to create an account, and how easy it was to sign up for several things, including bringing celebration day items.  

- Michelle Zuniga, 4th Grade Teacher, Hays CISD

 Your signup process was easy for parents and I loved that it sent reminders. 100% of parents attended conferences – a first. Thank you!
