Sign-Up Genius Is My Friend

Repeat after me. 

"Sign-Up Genius is my friend."

Why? Because it's true! My Third Grade Team loves Sign-Up Genius. It's awesome because we can send lists out to just our homeroom class or to the entire Third Grade! 

Just as advertised- it's super easy! Parents know exactly how to use it and they've told me they love it because they can go back and check to see what hasn't been signed up for if they see a sale, etc. (I totally get that. I'm all about a good sale!)

When I log in I see a screen with old sign-ups. I love this feature because it helps me to remember what I asked for in the past... because I certainly don't expect my brain to remember!

From this screen you can edit your sign-up, see statistics, and add to favorites. It allows you to quickly see how many slots are left. 

I also LOVE using this for conference times. This allows parents to pick a time from the options given. It takes away the back and forth of "does this time work?" "No." "How about this time?" "No." That's just too much sometimes. 

This is an example from last year: 

This shows you the times I posted to choose from. The check mark tells you that someone signed up for that time. It also tells you their name, but I cut that part off for confidentiality reasons. 

Of course, the way that I use this way most is for parents to sign up for party items. The one below was from a Halloween treat time. We don't do parties for every holiday. (I wish! But, "Ain't nobody got time for that!")

What about you? What do you use to help organize events?
