Fall 2010-2011 Registration • Introducing a New Way to Register with PTSO: • PTO Manager Software • How will we gather volunteer information?—online at registration. This information can be changed at any time by the volunteer from home. • How will we use the information? • Directories (opt out option) • Newsletters (opt out option) • Volunteer Opportunities (tailored to specific interests) • How will this solve problems that we encountered this year?—Volunteers will no longer “fall through the cracks” because we could not reach them due to lack of a communication database. • Information can be ongoing throughout the school year. We can inform about Community Meetings, Fundraiser information, or anything that arises AFTER the school year has begun.
We are now recruiting volunteers to help out at registration!! This involves being welcoming and simply helping oversee the data input at laptop kiosks. It is NOT difficult!
