For Teachers

Best Sign-Up App for Teachers

What to use, what it costs, and when it is not us

Teachers need sign-ups for three things: conference times, classroom volunteers, and who sends snacks or supplies. Parents should be able to sign up from a phone in under a minute, without an account and without ads. If your school already gives you a parent app with sign-ups built in, that is usually the right answer.

The short answer

If your school pays for ParentSquare or a similar parent platform with sign-ups, use it: parents are already there. If not, SignupKit is free for most classrooms, shows no ads to parents, and keeps parent names private unless you turn the public list on.

Our picks, ranked by fit

  1. 1

    Your school’s parent platform, if it has sign-ups

    No new link, no new tool for parents to learn, and replies sit next to the rest of your class messages. Check before you look elsewhere.

  2. 2
    SignupKit: best free option

    Conference time slots, volunteer shifts, and snack rotations with a limit per slot. Free for 5 sheets with 50 sign-ups each, 50 reminder emails a month, no ads, no parent accounts.

  3. 3
    SignUpGenius

    Many parents already know it, and its free plan has no sheet limit. Parents see ads on free sign-ups.

  4. 4
    Google Forms

    Best for permission info, allergies, or interest forms. It cannot stop two parents picking the same conference time.

What teachers need from a sign-up tool

  • Time slots for conferences, one family per slot
  • No ads on a page you send to parents
  • No account for parents, who sign up once a term
  • Names hidden from other parents by default
  • Reminders the day before, so conference no-shows drop

Where SignupKit is the wrong tool

  • No text-message reminders; SignupKit sends email only
  • The free plan caps sheets at 5 at a time; a teacher running sign-ups all year may need Pro at $10 a month
  • No integration with your school’s student information system or class roster

We make SignupKit. Every other tool on this page is described from its own published plans, and we rank specialists above ourselves where they do the job better.
