2. How do I get the Campus Plan for K-12 Schools?
3. Do we need the K-12 Campus Plan?
Anyone organizing SignUps in your school is welcome and invited to use our Basic (FREE) service at any time! Please see our article about using SignUp at different levels in your school: Click here
For schools or parent groups wanting a more centralized approach, our Campus Plan makes it extra easy (and cost-effective) to share planned activities, post SignUps to common School and Class Group Pages, and track parent and volunteer participation across Signups.

4. Should I put all my needs on one SignUp calendar?
You CAN put all your school SignUps on one calendar but we do not recommend it. Schools typically have many different people organizing SignUps (teachers, committee chairs, room parents) and parents will respond best to specific targeted requests to participate.
For example, you may wish to invite all the parents to volunteer at the school carnival or bring food for the welcome potluck, but for scheduling class readers or parent-teacher conferences, each teacher will invite their own class parents. For more examples, please see this article: How should I set up my school with SignUp.com?
5. What if I want parents to access all our school, grade or classroom SignUps in one place?
There are a few options for achieving this goal:
First, the easiest solution is to use our convenient Group Page(s). Each SignUp Organizer gets one FREE Group Page with our Basic service and an unlimited number of Group Pages with our Campus Plan. You may customize the page with your school logo or any image, and pick and choose which SignUps to post to the page. Parents access your Group Page with ONE link and can quickly see which SignUps are full and where you still need help. Examples:
School Group Page
Classroom Group Page
Carnival Event Group Page
Second, your individual Organizers (parent leaders and teachers) can quickly provide a Shareable SignUp Link to each activity. These links (or formatted SignUp buttons) can be easily posted on your school’s web page, Facebook page, Remind text service, or any eNewsletter.
We also offer calendar sync of multiple SignUps to an embedded Google calendar on your website - Learn more here.
6. Can we transfer our Premium membership from one organizer to another organizer?
Yes, we can transfer the Premium upgrade of your Campus Plan to a new lead Organizer's email address quickly – please send us a request to support@SignUp.com.
