PTO Today

How much time do you and your officers spend emailing volunteer lists back and forth to reach other trying to figure out who has the most up-to-date information? Volunteer Builder puts all of your volunteer information online in a centralized password-protected area allowing you and your group leaders to access and update key information any time, from any place - school, work or home.

Tired of spending hours deciphering unwieldy spreadsheets and playing "Dialing for Volunteers" to no avail? With Volunteer Builder you can search for, find and match the right volunteers with the right available opportunities in minutes and then email all those volunteers in just one click.

All your information is stored and saved. When the new school year starts, all your data from the previous year is already in place and ready for you to update it as needed. Planning a fall festival again this year? You.ll have easy access to all the details from last year.s event, (like number of volunteers needed, hours worked and more) to make this year.s planning a snap.

Newly elected officers get instant access to all your volunteer information so they can hit the ground running. This cuts down significantly on ramp up time and gives new leaders and future leaders a great foundation to build on your group.s success.

Now you can create your school directory in a matter of minutes vs. hours or days, because all your volunteer and student data is already stored in PTO Manager. All you have to do is run your student report in PTO Manager and export it to Excel. Simple.

With Volunteer Builder, you.ll always have an accurate and ongoing record of all the hours volunteered by parents and group members because the program tracks hours automatically as they are entered. You control who is allowed to enter hours into the system. You can either have volunteers enter their own hours or you can have someone on your team enter them.

No matter how hard you try, some parents still seem to get left out of the loop when it comes to receiving information from your group. Volunteer Builder.s built in email system makes it easy to make sure all your school.s parents are in the know. Need to send out your newsletter? You can generate an email to everyone at your school and attach your newsletter in just three clicks.

Because PTO Manager is web-based, all of your data sits safely and securely on our server where it.s backed-up daily. So if your hard drive dies or one of your officer.s computers crashes.it doesn.t affect your data because the information isn.t stored on your machine.

All too often you have to take a standard software program, like Excel, and try to make it work for your group. With PTO Manager, all the features and functions parent groups need are built right into the program. You can even add custom fields that are unique to your own parent group so that your data works the way your group really works. Got an idea that would help make PTO Manager work better for your group? Share it with us. We add new features to the program every year that are based on your recommendations.

PTO Manager's new sign-in feature provides your school with a great way to easily track school visitors and their volunteer hours. School visitors simply sign in and out electronically using a designated internet-accessible computer at your school. Volunteer hours/tasks are automatically updated in PTO Manager and you (or anyone with the right security level) can get a complete list of who is in the building and their location at any time. Now you can finally do away with messy and hard-to-read paper sign-in sheets for good!
