THANK YOU!!! Using Signup was the easiest and most helpful signup tool I have EVER used. I am an educator and have been scheduling conferences with parents for over 30 years. It is always a challenge. This year, amidst the challenges of distance learning, I was told about your site. Loved my experience. I met with all parents of my students, which is rare. I liked its ease of use and the reminders it sent to my parents. I will continue to use this tool in the future.

As an educator, I thought I was pretty tech savvy until the pandemic... When we thought of how we could do conferences, hundreds of teachers posted on a Facebook group of teachers to use SignUp. Wow, your site was perfect. It was so easy to use and made my life much less stressful – you guys even sent email reminders to parents!! Thank you, you have been a wonderful source for probably millions of teachers!
