Online Volunteer Sign Ups
Websites like SignUp Genius and VolunteerSpot let teachers and other event organizers set-up sign up sheets for volunteers. Whether you are organizing volunteers for class snacks, book fair workers, or guest readers throughout the year, parents can log on and sign-up when they have a moment. The sites even send reminder emails so you do not have to.

A while ago I blogged about how I use your book bags to send home work for parent volunteers that can’t make it into the classroom. I had one parent volunteer that put together book orders for me and that saved me a lot of time! I plan on sending home a volunteer bag every year now 🙂

Great tips! I’d like to add that we offer a great-value tool for PTAs to publish events and detailed tasks lists, and grow their community organically into a private and secure social network with parent-to-parent messaging and interactive volunteer management. Great for increasing parental involvement, fundraising and community building. Please check us out 🙂 http://www.ptasocial.com
