Hello,

I am a newly elected chairperson for our Parent/Teacher Organization. I am looking for a parent volunteer sign up sheet that asks for help as well as a one-time family participation donation. Anyone out there have an idea or sample I can look at?

Tracy, If you will e-mail me at marybouchard2@msn.com I can send you the forms I have and you can tell me if they will work. Mary

I have to say that having used forms and folders I much prefer the folders option. It is much less time consuming. We take 2 tables and lay out manilla folders that on one side list the event with a description and on the other side has a sign up sheet for emails and contacts. At the end of orientation night we simply fold up the folders and pass them to the chairperson to contact the interesed people. You need to man the tables but the resulting tool is much easier than shifting through hunderds of membership form entries.

ps--this was not my idea--I got it from another PTOer at a different school.

That folder idea is BRILLIANT!!! I'm going to "borrow" it

Don't forget to check the File Exchange area. Many forms of all types are shared there.

We give every homeroom teacher a set of sheets to tape to the wipe board. Parents sign up in the small classroom setting at "Meet the Teacher". All of the forms are then distributed to the chairperson after the event. We include EVERYTHING in this sign up and explain what is expected of them before they sign up. Everyone likes to know what type of time commitment they are getting into. This has worked great for us for several years. The PTO tables are not ignored because the lines are so long.
