Helpful Tips & Hints to Remember for this year's School Halloween Party

 

• Siblings: Ask the teacher before inviting

• Craft Projects: Ensure the craft parent volunteer has EVERYTHING needed – e.g. a trash bag for clean up. Don’t assume the teacher will provide all items.
  
   
• Kids under 10: Divide them into small groups, rotate them through activity “stations” (10-15 min each) and have at least one parent per station.
  
   
• Prizes: Hand out pencils or other school supplies as favors.
  
   
• Snacks: Plan extras for the teacher, staff and parent helpers.
  
   
• Wagon: Hands-down the best way to tote party supplies to/from the classroom.
  
   
• Decorations: A colorful tablecloth adds festivity and plastic ones are inexpensive. Balloons, streamers, and curled ribbon also go a long way to transforming a classroom into a party room.
  
   
• Memories: Ask a parent to volunteer to take photos or videos of the party and share with the parents who could not come.
  
   
• Remember: Relax and have fun! The elementary years go by quickly. Celebrate these moments with your children.

Carnival Volunteer Sign Up Sheets

School Carnival & Festival Sign Up Sheets

Carnivals and festivals are some of the largest fundraisers that support schools, churches and nonprofits.  Their size and profitability, however, means they require LOTS of hand-on support from volunteers and coordinators.

From staffing games and booths, to selling tickets, finding sponsors, selling concessions, setting up and inevitably cleaning up, the sheer volunteer participation can leave any organizer overwhelmed.

Stress less and save yourself and volunteers time by coordinating your carnival sign ups online! Fast, easy and convenient, free online sign up sheets from SignUp.com are THE answer for getting more parents and volunteers involved, increasing turnout, profits and FUN!

How do I organize a carnival with SignUp.com?

We have two quick solutions for you:

Schedule an entire day's event needs on one calendar, from set up to clean up.  Generalize shifts for staffing booths/games by planning on letting parents know where they can help when they arrive for their shift.

The second solution is to set up separate activities for each large carnival need, i.e an activity for ticket sales, for each game, for concessions and so on. Our "duplicate activity" feature lets you set up one schedule for say, the Duck Pond booth, and then copy and rename it to set up shifts for say, the Baseball Throw Game. Find out more about this solution with sample sign up sheets and step-by-step instructions HERE.

Don't miss our go-to app for coordinating your carnival sign ups! "Clipboard" by VolunteerSpot turns your iPad into a virtual sign up sheet you can pass around at your next carnival planning or parent teacher association meeting.  Fill shifts, capture volunteer information and ensure that parents receive automated reminders for their commitments!

Presidential Sign Up Sheets

Happy President's Day!

In honor of President's Day this year, we wanted to celebrate our nation's historic leadership with a humorous "what if" - what would a sign up sheet have looked like for an important signing day from history? While our To Brings may not be 100% historically accurate, we though Mrs. Hancock or Mary Lincoln would have fashioned something like the following:
