Make this signup your own

  1. 1

    Name the roles you need

    Start with bus, arrival, and small-group helpers. Rename or remove roles so each one represents a real responsibility on your trip.

  2. 2

    Set adult capacities

    Use your school's staffing plan to set the number for each role. The starter allows one role per signup and keeps public names hidden.

  3. 3

    Add arrival and approval instructions

    Include the meeting time and place, what helpers should bring, and how they complete the school's requirements. Avoid asking for unnecessary student information.

  4. 4

    Review coverage before departure

    Share the published link with your approved group, review remaining spaces, and send practical updates when needed. Organization check-in is optional if your workspace uses it.

A few practical questions

Does a signup approve someone to chaperone?

No. A signup claims a role. Background checks, school permission, and volunteer approval remain part of your school's process.

Can I hide volunteer names?

Yes. This starter hides names on the public page while showing availability. Organizers can still review the signup roster.

Can I include supplies too?

You can add item slots, but label them clearly so an item is not mistaken for an adult role. If people may take both, review the multiple-selection setting.

Start with the structure. Add your people.

The starter opens in your event builder. Review the details, save a draft, and share when you are ready.
