Your School is Drowning in Tools. Your Families Are Slipping Through the Cracks.
One platform that relieves the chaos of parent engagement and event management. SignUpGo gives you that time back while saving you money!
If This Sounds Familiar, You're Not Alone
The Gmail BCC Nightmare
Sending event announcements means BCCing 200 parents, tracking who responded in a spreadsheet, and answering the same questions 47 times via email.
Then someone replies-all and chaos ensues.
The Conference Scheduling Black Hole
Parent-teacher conferences take 15+ hours to schedule manually. SignUpGenius costs $400/year and doesn't integrate with anything. Parents miss their slots because the reminder email went to spam.
Your assistant principal is still manually calling parents.
The Expensive Tool Stack That Still Makes You Do Everything Manually
You're paying for SignUpGenius ($400), MyConferenceTime ($300), Smore ($250), Constant Contact ($300), and your PTO website ($200). That's $1,450/year—and none of them talk to each other.
You're still copy-pasting event details between platforms.
The "Wait, Which Tool Was That In?" Problem
Was the fall festival signup in SignUpGenius? Or Google Forms? Did we send that announcement through ParentSquare or Gmail?
Let me check three places...
The Security & Privacy Nightmare
Your district requires FERPA compliance. SignUpGenius doesn't offer a Data Processing Agreement. Google Sheets exposes parent emails. Your PTO website hasn't been security-audited since 2015.
Your IT director is asking questions you can't answer.
The Language Barrier Crisis
In the US, 21% of K-12 students speak a language other than English at home—that's 1 in 5 families. Yet your announcements are English-only. Translating every email manually takes hours. Google Translate links feel unprofessional and families still miss important information.
You're inadvertently excluding families who want to participate.
There's a better way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start
Built by a School Volunteer Who Got Fed Up
SignUpGo was born from real frustration with broken tools
Bear Wade, Founder
Overwhelmed parent → Product builder
I built SignUpGo because I lived the problem—as a confused parent. I had kids at two different schools. Every week, I'd get 10+ emails from different teachers, PTO leaders, and staff—each with a different link to sign up for something. SignUpGenius (cluttered with ads). Google Forms. Random websites. Paper flyers.
I was so overwhelmed and confused that I just stopped engaging. I wanted to volunteer. I wanted to support my kids' schools. But the chaos made it impossible. I thought: "There has to be a better way."
So I built SignUpGo—one platform, mobile-first, ad-free, and designed for parents who are drowning in links. Today, schools use it to save 10-40 hours per month, cut tool costs in half, and actually reach families (instead of losing them to confusion). It's the tool I wish existed when I was that overwhelmed parent.
